I was sitting here thinking about how I wanted to write a scene about a person commuting. Lots of great opportunities there for internal monologue, which I find a total kick to write

"My high school essay writing expertise does not help me in this area."

It's so true. I'm in the middle of writing a story right now and I'm having trouble expressing dialog without it sounding repetitive.

Writing dialogue for fiction is really very tricky- if you read a movie script, the dialogue looks kind of weird, even boring- because actors flesh out the words with visuals. I read somewhere that Gustave Flaubert agonised for incredible periods of time over the dialogue in 'Madame Bovary'- he'd spend months on a single exchange between characters.
