How do you write such amazing dialogue? It's my favorite thing about your books. I love how utterly real and fantastic it is. Another author I know of who writes such real, raw dialogue is Rainbow Rowell (off the top of my head). It's amazing how big of a difference this makes in the enjoyment of a book. Any tips on how to create it as well? (So two questions I guess lol)

Honestly, I just write the way I talk LOL My friends can confirm that I speak like a frat boy half the time, saying "dude" and the most ridiculous stuff. Also, I have some pretty funny people in my life, so sometimes the most random things get discussed and use those for inspiration too.

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
