Exceptional dialogue occurs when the writer views character interaction as a war zone. The page becomes a battlefield, and the verbal and nonverbal exchange explodes into action.

Yesterday, Trump was threatening a reporter. Today, he coerced ABC to kick Kimmel off the air.
He's also suing NYT & WSJ for reporting the truth. And it's not just media: he's threatening private companies, colleges, Congress—everyone.
Enough. NONE OF US should cave. We ALL need to push back.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
