Live Dialogue Workshop: Bring Your Scenes & Story Questions

Let’s talk dialogue. Live. We’re breaking down real scenes and script pages, looking at what makes dialogue actually work, and answering your story questions along the way. To kick off Dialogue That Delivers, we’re doing a special Plot Luck Live focused on the words characters say, the things they don’t say, and everything happening underneath. We’ll pull apart dialogue from real stories and look at what’s actually making the scene work: character voice, conflict, subtext, exposition, rhythm, intention, power shifts, and more. I’ll talk through what I’m noticing in real time so you can take those ideas back into your own scenes. And this is still a Story Q&A, so bring whatever you’re working through. A character who isn’t clicking. A scene that feels flat. A plot problem you can’t untangle. Worldbuilding questions. Structure. Theme. Pacing. Relationships. Dialogue, especially. If there’s something in your story that has you staring at the page going, why is this not working?, bring it with you. ✍️ WHAT WE’LL DO 💬 Break down dialogue from real scenes and script pages 🔍 Look at why certain lines, exchanges, and scenes work 🎭 Talk character voice, subtext, conflict, intention, exposition, rhythm, and more 🔬 Diagnose story problems from your questions in the chat 🧩 Talk characters, plot, structure, worldbuilding, theme, pacing, relationships, and craft 🎬 Open Q&A about writing, storytelling, and the industry This Live also kicks off our brand new Plot Luck chapter: Dialogue That Delivers.

This is for screenwriters, novelists, game writers, playwrights, comic writers, D&D storytellers, story nerds, and anyone trying to understand why some scenes come alive on the page and others just… don’t.
