A bit of conversation

[aeron_lanart]

So I'm writing my next Dresden Files fic, and the next thing I know, this little 'conversation' is happening. It made me giggle at least. Story will probably be posted tomorrow once it's finished and tidied up.

I'm lucky as I get the visuals too. *g*

Effin' perfect!

I love it when dialogue just flows, especially when it makes you smile at the same time. Now all I need to do is replay it in my head and file in the gaps as it were...

Excellent, loved this dialogue between three of my favourite characters ever (and they work so well together) can't wait for next bit.

This bit is expanded in Part 2 of a Breakdown in Comprehension?

Comparing this to the finished article gives you an idea of how I work when I'm writing; conversation has always been something that I find quite easy to write and I often have to get that down first so I can fix a scene in my head (I'm a very visual writer, I see things and I have to find the words to describe them). Once the scene is fixed I can then slow the camera down a bit and watch the characters for the interactions I missed when I was too busy listening and watching from the wide angle. Then the scene gets fleshed out and I might change or add stuff in the original conversation.

Eventually, you end up with something that's gone from 122 words of conversation (which is what's above) to a 461 word scene, and that's not including the rest of it, just the bit between the first and last lines of the dialogue.

Um. Waffle. Sorry.
