DIALOGUE

"My name is Jack Sprat, though in this age when fame is the altar at which most people worship, I am not sure why you should care who I am or that I exist."

Who said this and to whom?

Where was this line spoken?

What time was it?

What set the speaker into motion?

What might a listener's response be?

If no one else is around, what might the speaker say next?

As you answer these questions, start freewriting a scene. Try to let the dialogue carry the story as it pushes the plot foward.

HAVE FUN!
