What Should Your Characters Say?

If you want to keep your characters moving, give them different scripts.

In life, we all have our wants and needs, our likes and dislikes. So should your characters. If you understand what a character wants, needs, and is willing to do to get it, you'll have your dialogue and your action.

Ask your character: What do you want? Then let him or her talk.

There's your dialogue.
