Antagonize

This post is late, I know, and I apologize profusely. Maybe this week the Friday post will work out better for you anyway?

Have you ever changed your mind in the middle of an argument? Or been so involved in an argument that you change your stance in the middle of it? Why not have a character do this?

Write some dialogue between two (or more) characters in which they hold an opposing viewpoint. Have them argue for their viewpoint. There's not need for reason or logic to be involved here, just get these two people talking. Have one of the characters start arguing against his original view, without realizing it. Keep the other character so involved in the argument that he doesn't realize the switch.

Want to take it up a little higher? Don't forget the space the characters are in - give them some space to argue. Perhaps have them fling small objects, slam a door, or shout up some stairs.

Enough reading - go write!
