Dialogue Questions and Answers

Writers' Corner
1

A bit of a game for us :slight_smile: I got the idea from something the Instagram user @purplest_prose does.

Basically, someone will comment a question, and the next person has to use dialogue from your current work in progress to answer it. The questions can be as serious or as ridiculous as you want, and this applies to the answers as well.

Once you’ve posted a response to the question, you can post a new question for the next person. You can even make it a bit harder, by specifying what the dialogue has to be from. For example “said by a male character”.

I hope this makes sense!

First question:

How will we stop COVID-19?

“[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t worry, we have a plan!”

“Uh, no we don’t.”

“What’s the plan?”

“Nothing, because we don’t have one.”

([name_f]Hope[/name_f] I did that correctly)

“How do we sneak into the party?”

“Oh, no. Not after the bungee incident last year. I don’t trust you.”

“Oh, come on. I was holding the bungee cord! You were fine!”

“I may have been drunk, but I know for a fact that that ‘bungee cord’ was a garden hose!”

“Well, you got down safely from the roof. What’s the problem?”

“Safely? Dude, I smacked against the ground and dislocated my shoulder.”

“Worse has happened to professionals.”

“Forget it, man. I’m going home.”

Next Question: What’s the bets part about Nameberry?

([name_m]Just[/name_m] to make sure everyone here understands, the goal is to find dialogue from whatever book you’re writing to answer the question. Some of them have been very specific to the question, so I just wanted to make sure :slight_smile: )
