My character is a very, very fast talker and I was wondering how best to write his dialogue I was thinking
I am gonna scrub all plotted programmes and just plot a whole new trajectory, try and reduce the curve, given the capabilities this thing has it shouldn't be too much of a stretch.
just have no punctuation or would that just be a silly thing to do?
Just seeing your post now. For what it's worth, I have a fast talker in my current project. On first action reference I refer to him that way, as well as in his character heading. Also, of course, important that the dialogue sounds like someone would/could say it fast. For example (just making this up):
EXT. SIDE OF ROAD - DAY
Harvey and a FAST TALKING TOW TRUCK DRIVER look under the steaming hood.
FAST TALKING TOW TRUCK DRIVER I''ll just slap in a power carb, new plugs, jumbo tranny and a free quart of oil and you'll have four wheels on the freeway faster than your daughter gives it up on a Friday.
