G. Norman Lippert:
Which do you find more difficult, writing dialog or describing the physical environment?
G. Norman Lippert
When I was a new writer, I adored writing long, sweeping descriptions but found dialogue immensely difficult. Somewhere along the way, that switched. I still enjoy description, but I work to keep it as quick and pithy as possible, getting right to the dialogue wherever I can. When the characters come to life and start believably interacting on the page, that's my absolute favorite part of writing.
