Writing 101, Day Seven: Give and Take– Focus today’s post on the contrast between two things. The twist? Write the post in the form of a dialogue.
Today’s twist: write your post in the form of a dialogue. You can create a strong opposition between the two speakers — a lovers’ quarrel or a fierce political debate, for example. Or you could aim to highlight the difference in tone and style between the two different speakers — your call!
‘ I don’t know why I have taken this daily writing assignment when it takes a week to come up with something.’ I complained.
My friend chirped’ You dimwit! You are not made for writing, why don’t you take some other challenges, like photography or painting.’
‘ You are so rude. Can’t you say something encouraging. Here I’m struggling to write something and you are making fun of me.’
‘ I’m your childhood friend. I know very well what your limitations are. You were very bad in essay writing , do you remember?”
‘ So what! Now I have decided to write so I’ll try. Shouldn’t we attempt difficult things out of our comfort zone?’ was my final decision.
‘ Oh! go jump in the well.’ Friend left irritably.

I pushed my friend into the well. She was bigger and could feed more fish!
We both lost – the fish won!
