Around the Table


Prompt: Your task:
Create a one page (minimum)
scene that showcases a discussion at a (your?) kitchen table.
Use dialogue and punctuate correctly
You can have as many characters as you want
Vary your dialogue–use interesting tags (verbs like “said” are not as interesting)
Make sure to add in actions, body language, and descriptions of characters interacting with setting
The characters can be talking about whatever you want
Basing it on a real conversation is a good start as it allows you to “write what you know”
