Third World Writer

I like writing dialogues.I like trying to express relationships and events through characters’ conversations. I especially like trying to project their emotions and personalities through their words despite the limitations of spoken language. I like writing dialogues because the things we say more often than not, and whether we intend them to or not, obscure the things we mean. And yet nothing has more potential for honest expression than words. A picture might paint the wrong thousand words and actions can be misinterpreted, but the right words, carefully chosen, can correct them.

I want to write honest conversations.

On weekends and after work, when I’m walking around aimlessly through random malls, I sometimes find an empty bench, take out my notebook and scribble a few lines of conversation. What would a cheating husband tell his lover? What would a man confide to his friend? What would a prostitute tell the customer who asks only for a story?

My imagination is over-active. It’s not very good, not even very productive, but it does like to imaginea lot of things. So if once in a while I manage to post something, please don’t mind the garbage. I need an outlet of sorts.
