Query

A question, in between posts that have nothing to do with it at all:

Would it be totally awesome or totally wanky to write a "How to write good dialogue" primer? I am thinking of something similar to the smut primer by the lovely and moist and sticky [livejournal.com profile] leiascully.

Because it took me a really long time to learn how to write good dialogue (because I think I write good dialogue, but if I don't, this is your chance to circuitously be like, "You are working under a false assumption, Sabine, and you need to step up your game") and there are many helpful things that people might be interested in considering.

Thoughts?

It would be an awesome thing to do for the Month of Meta! You could ask a few people who you think write good dialog, and ask them for tips and advice as well, perhaps? Sometimes several people have quite different approaches.
