WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a difficult conversation between two characters without using any dialogue tags.
Dialogue tags describe the speech - 'he whispered', 'she murmered', 'they said' etc. Removing these indicators will encourage you to make the dialogue speak for itself, instead of relying on tags to describe and clarify the intent behind the words.
Dialogue
„I just wanted the best for you.“
„By telling I am getting fat every day for years? Why didn‘t you tell that my brothers?“
„The moment women turn 25 they start gaining weight. I just wanted to warn you! Men don‘t have that problem,“
„And? You are still calling me fat, even though I am not. I am doing so much sport and I have a healthy bodyweight.“
„Ah, now you are exaggerating. Don‘t take everything so serious. It was meant like that.“
„Then how was it meant? It is not funny or helpful. It is just mean. Because of you I feel bad about myself. Stop projecting your unhappiness about your own weight onto me!“
