Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.
This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.
Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…
We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

as I said this is about film dialogue ... but there are good pointers here for all writers ... film/TV (the good stuff) has some of the best dialogue writing you will ever come across ...So... people only speak if they want something. Good to know.
and I think the film courage stuff on writing on youtube is mostly brilliant ...as I said this is about film dialogue ... but there are good pointers here for all writers ... film/TV (the good stuff) has some of the best dialogue writing you will ever come across ...
My remark was not intended as criticism but as something I wasn't previously aware of. There's also quite a bit about misunderstanding. i.e. the speaker says something but the listener may interpret it with different intentions as to those of the speaker. That too is good to know because when writers write dialogue, everyone seem to understand each other perfectly and of course that is because the writer is the speaker and the listener, so the writer knows exactly what he/she is saying to him/herself, right? You know what that means, don't you? I have to go through all my dialogue to see if I have goofed up somewhere.as I said this is about film dialogue ... but there are good pointers here for all writers ... film/TV (the good stuff) has some of the best dialogue writing you will ever come across ...
