Lit Writing Craft: Dialogue
Let's talk about dialogue. How do you make it sound like real people talking and not get off the track? A real conversation involves a lot of irrelevancies. In writing, particularly for short stories you can't afford to get too far from the point.

Sat 11:00am - 12:00pm A6
