How can I write more authentic conversations in my stories?

To write authentic conversations, focus on natural speech patterns, use subtext, and develop distinct character voices.

What do you mean by subtext?

Subtext is the underlying meaning or emotion behind the words. It adds depth and realism to dialogue.

Can you give me an example of subtext in a conversation?

Sure! If one character says, 'Nice weather we're having,' but their tone is sarcastic, the subtext might reveal frustration.

How do I create distinct character voices?

You can create distinct voices by considering each character's background, personality, and speech habits. Use unique phrases or slang.
