A Goodreads user asked Lloyd A. Green:

Do you know any Beta readers? I agree about walking around with paper and pad, It helps. Especially when you want to write realistic dialogue. I often snoop on people in public places. How about you?

Lloyd A. Green Hi there. Don't know any beta readers. I only use a copyeditor after I've finished a draft I'm comfortable with.
Interesting idea, listening in on others in order to make realistic dialogue. Think I'll try it.
