Yes boredom articulated indeed.<br /><br />Conversation is not worth transcribing unless there is a dynamic element to it. Behaviors are much better at communicating than dialogue is at times. Which is why I find it necessary that when the inevitable small talk dialogue must be appropriately voiced, mannerisms, bemusement, and discomfort must be conveyed to add a little zest to the scene. Otherwise even I as the writer find myself stifling a yawn as I try to get it down on paper.Storm Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046582567151111121noreply@blogger.com
