Any writers out there who have near human like dialogue and prose? I recently noticed that due to my experience on this site and in real life a lot of my dialogue is connected rhetorically. (Speech and debate has been a great way to learn new and significant aspects of different subjects for me. So I'm not entirely surprised it's affected my writing methodology).I'd like to see if there are specific writers who have a focus on brevity and clear concise speech as well. I want to see what similarities, differences and lessons I can learn from there styles compared to my own.(Also, I added the Antony pic simply because I found that passage of Shakespeare's to have been one of the most intriguing speeches I've ever read in fiction. So I thought the scene may have had some reference as to what I'm discussing about here).

Brautigan would probably be good for your needs, and he shows how to use it effectively. In Watermelon Sugar and Sombrero Fallout are probably best for you needs.Minimalists in general are probably what you are looking to study and they do a great job of show that it is not things being real that is important but things feeling real; the emotion is the only part that is real.
I spent many years writing highly formal and technical material, books and articles, for business and technology. It sounds nothing like how I sound in real life. It has polished my spelling and grammar, and it has given me an appreciation for the craft of writing. In spoken word, I have a thick Southern drawl which people up North sometimes were not able to understand when I lived in worked in the capital city of the USA.Also gave speeches to crowds up there, mostly only the subject of revolt, which were actually well received. They were applauded and people approached me about them, even turned away a journalist so others could speak. Would you believe me? It wouldn't offend me if you didn't, but this actually happened. Physically walked from the ghetto in a full black suit with speeches scribbled on folded paper in my pocket, delivered speeches to massive crowds, marching and protesting.I wrote so many words a day that when I got canned for opposing zionist genocide I just kept writing and writing, mostly for free on 4chan, earning a living by hard labor. My 4chan "speeches" blended into real life as I ran into federal informants who quoted my posts at me in person. Again, it wouldn't offend me if you didn't believe me, but this actually happened. They even knew what books I was reading, like Fry the Brain by John West. They would brag about it, knowing my online activities.Life became like a dark and ghetto version of the Truman Show, under active investigation for anti-government activities. Now I live in complete isolation, with the exception of talking to a single woman who I will not write about here. But yes, this website has blended into my real life. Sometimes I use it just to vent, or to send messages to feds and such. I have to filter out the perverts and racists to seek an intellectual discussion. This board probably has the highest level of writing and discourse of the whole site as the focus is writing itself.Clear and simple language? Pretty much all of American literature is like this. Descriptive and journalistic. America is known for this style, and this is an American website. Some French authors are like this. Camus, for example. The American style is basically no-bullshit and full of motion and action. It lacks pretension. It is all about the present moment. It's not like the old country with its old buildings and long-evolved scenes and ways. The American style is all go without the show, little frill and lots of thrill.
