Dialogue is one of the components of fiction writing that many writers find difficult.  Today’s exercise is to write the dialogue for the following scenario.

A relationship break-up. 

This doesn’t have to be a romantic break-up.  It can be any kind of relationship.  Choose a main character and then a secondary character for them to break up with and write a realistic dialogue where the main character ends the relationship.  Read the dialogue back aloud.  Does it flow?  Is it natural?  If not tweak a word here, a phrase there until you feel the emotion flooding through the dialogue.
