Writing Workshop

Exercise #8

jcmontgomery jcmontgomery 114 posts

Two people are having a conversation. They appear to be discussing a bottle of wine (or a wine bottle), but there is a subtext. What is really going on?

Is one trying to tell the other they are fat, having an affair, one is trying to break up with the other?

Are they drinking the wine? Or simply discussing at as you already wrote? Just wondering….converations while drinking will often be more frank and quite possibly stupid than the sober ones! Thanks! K. Helgesen

Karen,

They could be doing either. They could be discussing the bottle itself or its contents. Whether they are drinking said contents is also up to you, but would certainly add to the tone the conversation would take for as you said, it may make them more “frank”.
