jessij1997 asked:

Hey! do you have tips to write a phone call? so what the character is doing during this time? i can't just write dialogue, right?

Hey :)

Here are some options for you:

How to write a phone call

Doing something other than talking:

  • washing dishes (very noisy)
  • folding laundry
  • brushing teeths (some people hate to hear that)
  • lying on their back on the floor or their bed, kicking up their feet, staring at the ceiling
  • walking up and down
  • getting distracted
  • trying on clothes, missing half of the conversation with their head stuck in a hoodie
  • doing their makeup and hair
  • drinking or eating
  • vacuuming (the noisiest)

I hope this helps!

Trope of the day is... defying prophecies. These centuries-old plans are just not working out. Maybe something was lost in translation, maybe the wording was just too gender-specific, maybe the chosen one just didn't want to participate. All that waiting just to get disappointed.
