writing tips - building rapport

rapport is a relationship between two characters, the pattern that their interactions usually follow and how they consider each other. sometimes this changes over the course of a relationship, but it can be hard to figure out where to start. Here are some tips to help with dialogue and relationships!!

Write fanfiction for your story. sounds stupid, hear me out. take your characters out of the context of your plot and plop them in an AU. don't worry about keeping it consistent with your story, just focus on their conversation. how would they react stuck in an elevator? would they get along as coworkers? use it like a writing exercise.

don't let them shut up. more dialogue is good, it can be trimmed out of the final product, but that information and knowledge will be in your brain! practicing the different elements of these relationships helps conflict and resolution be written easier.

switch POVS. sometimes it's hard to write dialogue because the worldview isn't right. If the character narrating the scene has no connection to it, it'll sound boring and disengaged. hop around, find one that really resonates.

love you hope this helps xo
