Developing dialogue

I've spent the middle part of the evening working on the book, developing the dialogue - in particular between my character and the lead character from the radio scenes, who is loosely called Andrew.

The great things about the characters' names is that I can change them, even at the last minute if necessary. Although it's nice to have them in place before-hand.

The relationship between Paul and Andrew has to, within a few scenes go from not knowing each other, to a deep and (obviously not sexually!) intimate friendship.... The challenge is to do this over only a few scenes, and trying to use the right conversations, questions, moments etc to make this happen.

Been working at allocating more of the quotes tonight too, and editing the most recent radio scene that I've written.
