``Why do you doubt your senses?’’
``Because,’’ said Scrooge, ``a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats. You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!’’
Dialogue is perhaps the most tedious and difficult part of writing. But it’s not only necessary, it is essential to proper storytelling. After all, you’re letting the characters themselves tell the story, in their own words.
To some degree, this becomes more natural in its creation if your character has really come to life in your own mind. Then you’re harnessing that aspect of your inner workings rather than having to build your mental camp all over again every time you sit down.
This isolated aspect of your imagination continues through the day, and at the end of it often has something revelatory to say to the rest of the world, including yourself.
Writing is not a lonely occupation. (But clearly, it is an occupation — your mind is invaded by all kinds of beings!)
