Episode Synopsis
Send us a text"Welcome to The Legacy Project Podcast, where we explore the art of storytelling and the power of preserving your journey for future generations. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today, we’re tackling an important aspect of storytelling that can bring your narrative to life: writing dialogue that feels authentic.Dialogue is one of the most powerful tools a writer has. It adds personality, creates movement in a story, and allows readers to hear the voices of your characters—or the real people in your life—exactly as they were. But writing dialogue that sounds real is harder than it seems. Too much formality can make it feel stiff, while too much realism can make it meandering or confusing.In today’s episode, we’ll explore what makes dialogue feel authentic, how to capture the natural rhythm of speech without making it dull, and ways to make conversations in your writing feel engaging and meaningful. Whether you’re writing memoir, fiction, or personal stories, today’s tips will help you create dialogue that sounds real, relatable, and compelling."TheLegacyProject.mePurchase copies of The Legacy Project book at Amazon.comYou can also get a copy of Service Before Self my autobiography at Amazon.com "Start writing.
