Wanted: Daily Dialogue themes for 2018!

Join this series tradition with your suggestions and get some creative juju!

I love the Daily Dialogue series. First off, we’ve done it every day since this blog launched back in 2008. I mean every day — 3,511 consecutive days to be exact. Also, I enjoy starting my day inspired by notable movie dialogue. But the main thing is it’s a great way to upgrade dialogue writing skills, learning from the masters!

Wouldn’t you like to contribute to the cause? All you have to do is suggest one or more themes as possible subjects for week-long Daily Dialogue series.

What themes would you like explored in 2018? You can go here to check out some of the previous Daily Dialogue subjects. We can dip back into them. Or perhaps checking out the list, you come up with a new idea.

In addition to general themes like Joy, Embarrassment, Anger, and the like, there are:

• Events: Birthday, Wedding, Funeral, Speech
• Conditions: Addiction, Stutter, Psychosis
• Situations: Standoff, Negotiation, Interview

Of specific interest are script-oriented details we face over and over like Exposition, Flashback, Monologue, Opening Line, Phone Call, Subtext, Voice-Over Narration.

Any and all of these, plus variations on theme, I want your suggestions.

What do you get for your effort?

• An acknowledgement of your input for 7 straight Daily Dialogue posts
• The satisfaction of knowing you’re part of an 8+ year tradition
• A blast of Go Into The Story creative juju and my sincere thanks

So join in the fun and learning, won’t you? Click on the RESPONSE link at the bottom of this page and suggest away. I’ll sort through the recommendations and hopefully we’ll have a set of themes which take us well into next year.

As always, thanks for your participation and support!
