This came off a writer's livejournal- it's a writing prompt. I think it's interesting, and I'm going to use it, sometime.


“Sit somewhere where you can overhear others' conversations. Write down snippets of the conversations you hear. Then, to practice writing believable dialogue and learning 'voice' for characters - write down the rest of the conversations as you imagine they occurred. Be as realistic or outlandish as possible - but try to keep the dialogues believable.”
