I use wordcounter.net

170 words

I'm using Trelby which is an open sourced screenwriting software

so it refuses to copy and paste

My writing is so terrible tonight ngl

we're talking prequel dialogue

This takes place in a gas station. I'm trying to imply that the two have had some casual hookups behind the counter before but I'm failing miserably

She gets killed off shortly thereafter by some guys who come in for no reason other than they need to fuel up I guess?

*No witnesses.*

You do scriptwriting?

yes

I want to at least

neat

I do creative writing

erm

wait

That came otu wrong

oh no lol you good

the generic storytelling writing

yeah

tbh I think creative writing is a weird term as technically, all writing is creative

all except blogs

unless you're like me tonight lol

I think they're just referring to Storytelling

I'mma start calling it Storytelling which is what it is basically

basically

I'm kind of forcing myself to write this tonight which is part of the problem

It's also a situation I've never been in so that doesn't help

makes sense

does anyone else get nights like this? where you simply can't write well?

yes

dialogue has never been my strongsuit but like

ugh
they say you get better at things when you do them enough but tonight is a perfect example of deadwood dialogue

anyone have any tips on writing dialogue?

because online I'm getting "read it out loud"

or the ever popular "make it relate to the plot"

Yea i do that alone but then have these moments where I come up with perfect and amazing dialogue

I'm having a time right now where the characters are fighting me. I know what I want them to do and where I want the story to go but they just don't want to cooperate. I've always said the characters have a mind of their own and at some point they write the story

Lol

I thought they were flirting XD
