One of the best writing advice I have gotten in all the months I have been writing is "if you can't go anywhere from a sentence, the problem isn't in you, it's in the last sentence." and I'm mad because it works so well and barely anyone talks about it. If you're stuck at a line, go back. Backspace those last two lines and write it from another angle or take it to some other route. You're stuck because you thought up to that exact sentence and nothing after that. Well, delete that sentence, make your brain think because the dead end is gone.

I'll start!

I'm really good at dialogue. It's always been my strong suit and it allowed me to transfer really well into playwriting when needed. I think I strike a good balance between natural and sort of theatrical, and my banter is pretty solid.

Okay, your turn!

I screwed up. I let something out into the world that was… I’m gonna fix it. I am. Dean and I, we’re – we’re gonna fix it. It’s just…
