Do you read plays?

I believe plays can teach would-be authors much about dialogue.

That's a nice way of putting it... learning dialogues. :)

I go for a drama class, and there we read plays sometimes. From now on, I think i'll concerntrate a bit more on the dialogue. Thanks for pointing that out. Dialogues are still a hard point for me

My stories always start out as plays before it unfolds.

Ho god... I'm always seeing plays, sometimes without me wanting . Sometimes yes, it helps. But you have to chose the best ones. Some may be ''too big'' and irrelevant for the matter.

Hope I've helped. Good luck :)
