DESCRIPTION:Join writer Tom Houseman for a workshop on writing dialogue. P
 resented in partnership with StoryStudio Chicago..\nhttps://northbrook.lib
 net.info/event/12393998
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In this workshop\, writer Tom Houseman wil
 l focus on approaches to writing dialogue in order to overcome some of the
  most common traps that writers fall into during dialogue-heavy scenes\, s
 uch as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dialogue that is excessively expository</li>\n<li>C
 onversations that are rambling or circular\, or simply don't move the stor
 y forward the way that we want them to</li>\n<li>Characters that sound too
  similar</li>\n</ul>\n<p>There are many approaches to dialogue writing\, b
 ut this workshop will take an "objective" based approach borrowed from sta
 ge acting. Using examples from both literature and film\, we will examine 
 how to identify the objective of each character in a scene\, and how to br
 eak the scene down into beats based around those objectives to help give o
 ur scenes forward momentum and make our characters active and specific.</p
 >\n<p>Presented in partnership with StoryStudio Chicago.</p>\n<p>This even
 t will be held live on Zoom. Once you have registered\, please check your
