i just started concepts for the comic but generally i want it to be a steam punk western with a bit of mystery to it..... but the problem is im scared to death to go past concept and into actuall dialogue since i am an extremely lousy writer any points on that?
As a writer, I always find that more believable dialog comes from A) real life or, less desirable B) Your own head (But that's only if you're used to having imaginary friends.
I tend to base characters either partially on myself or on my friends, and hence try to (undercover) instigate conversations similar to ones that might be in the comic. This gives you a good structure for pretty much any conversation. For arguments, I know this sounds weird, but try to watch breakups. Either in movies, or more preferably, real life, breakups ome in all shapes and sizes with all sorts of different people, and give a wide range of arguments you can pull from, from furious, to depressingly sad.
For any sort of fear, the only reliable way is to draw from your own childhood experiences. Generally fear is experienced alone, and people will always act different when they are alone.
Also, I'd always suggest going to some kind of support groups for inspiration on personalities and deep discussion. They're incredibly helpful.
