I´ve been trying to finish a post I started before my hiatus, and i remembered why i hate writing dialogue.
I already have trouble putting my thoughts into words, and as someone who sometimes doesn´t speak for weeks, actual verbal dialogue between two characters is not something that comes natural to me.
Also for this specific dialogue i need to figure out how to:
-Make the speaker seem vaguely scottish/swedish/crazy with ancient greek influences
-Make this specific line feel just a little more stilted than their base accent, as if reciting from a book
-Make the speaker seem probably female and possibly an android (these bits of information will only be implied through subtle clues like dialogue and are entirely up to the readers interpretation)
-Make the speaker sound like they are made out of rock/gemstones
All of that just for some side character, though there might be other characters that share some, but not all, of those points.
