What’s your top tip for writing authentic dialogue?

Oh, wow. No. Don't ever try to write authentic dialogue. Way too much of dialogue is tone, gesture, facial expression. Not the words. Too many ums and ers, shrugs and shorthand. The best dialogue is stylised to evoke all of these things. Sentence structure sharpened and different for each character. Maybe mention a gesture here or there. Evoke character rather than attempt authenticity.

Sustainable Research Strategies for Neurodivergent Writers - Dreamspace Studio

Many writers struggle with overwhelming research due to academic habits emphasizing exhaustive information gathering. Effective research should support writing by answering a specific question and setting limits on time and sources. A selective approach, focusing on relevant content and knowing when to stop, can make research manageable and enhance productivity.

Understanding creativity is a process, not magic.

You can create conditions for inspiration:
✅ Gather intentionally (Preparation)
✅ Rest without guilt (Incubation)
✅ Keep capture tools ready (Illumination)
✅ Develop systematically (Verification)

The process is non-linear too—you can work on multiple projects simultaneously.
