The Cheap Champagne Method Let the dialogue flow. Pop open your talk bottle and pour it out on the page. And do it without quote marks, attributions or actions beats. What you're doing is letting the characters improvise a scene for you. Know and accept the fact that you will cut much of this dialogue. That's fine. It's not going to take you all that long to write, plus it is good writing practice. But in the midst of it all you'll find actual lines, plot twists, points of conflict and other fictional matter you couldn't find any other way.
