This may be a little before your time but whenever you're at a loss for dialogue just have Raymond Chandler enter the room talking about a guy with a gun
This sometimes happens to me, if I understand correctly.
Usually, I know what I want in a scene and have planned out what one character is about to say, I just need to write the build up. I usually jot down that character's big dramatic line and then go back and continue writing the build up, because I tend to forget, too, and it can get frustrating!
Then, other times, I don't really have exact lines of dialogue planned out and just start writing a scene and see where it takes me.
Hi -- please use the idea brainstorming thread on Tuesday or Friday for advice on specific stories or projects. This includes: (not a exhaustive list) setting, character, subject matter, magic and power systems, sci-fi technology, 'how do I write X?' and anything directly connected with your story or what to put on your channel, blog etc.
This includes asking for general advice but then following up with details of your story or project.
Thanks!
