I don't want to put anyone specific on blast, but I'm so sick of those incredibly trite and unoriginal "dialogue writing prompts" from writing prompt blogs on this site that all say something like:
The hero turned to the villain, sorrow and longing in their face. "Don't you get it? I was supposed to be the villain in this story--and you, the hero...."
Just make the writing prompt general. Don't include your halfhearted attempt at compelling dialogue. Don't write this artificially-deep, contrived nonsense as a writing prompt. If I read something like this in a manuscript I was editing, I'd have to take a twenty-minute break. What kind of Riverdale-tier foolishness...
