Hi Alex, I've really enjoyed your works that I've read so far (Box Office/BOP!, Tricked, Too Cool). A big part of that is the naturalistic dialogue -- it seems mostly like just very keen observation, but are there any particular writers that have influence
Hello, Anonymous!
Writers, I can’t think of any that were an influence on my dialogue specifically. My favorite writer is probably Kurt Vonnegut but he’s not famous for his dialogue so I’m not sure how helpful that will be. I think in much the same way artists are encouraged to sketch all the time it’s probably good for writers to pay attention to people talking in real life.
As for places to interact with other aspiring creators, I really don’t know. I’m an old man and the internet changes so quickly that all the suggestions I would have would be laughably out of date.
Good luck!

Doug Loves Movies 4/24 at Helium in Portland, OR.
I was on Doug Loves Movies yesterday. Having a smoke with Doug Benson was like getting to shoot hoops with Michael Jordan.
