Seeing that everyone in this thread is so occupied discussing OP's motives, I'll step ahead and actually talk about that he has asked.
Please keep in mind that I'm an amateur.
The first thing is that the content should catch the reader's interest. Also, for a dialogue, it should feel natural and fluid, if it sounds too articulated there's something wrong in it. An exception of this could be phone calls in which one of the two people isn't heard by the reader, then you can "repeat" the other's words. In the other hand, if you want to keep it mysterious and reveal it later on, you can say only replies like in real life. ("What? *pause* No way!" instead of "What do you mean you're going to quit? *pause* No way!") The character's expressions (in a game, with avatars or even sound effects in the most minimalistic ones, and in a script described with actions) play a crucial role in this, because they help to hint what's going on.
Maybe you already know this, but it's very important.

Hi, I'm Laura, I'm 16 and I've had a passion for writing since I was really young. Even though I mostly write fanfiction, I'm currently working on some original projects, including a middle-length novel and a short but complex narration. I'm also fond of lyrics writing, but I'm not talented with music and my songs are usually nothing more than wordpad files that will never have a proper arrangement, even if I actually do have a melody in mind.
I can't wait to contribute in this forum, and meet you all!

Also, I should note that I'm Spanish. I try to use a wide range of vocabulary and expressions, but I can't be as verbose as you guys, and therefore, the literary quality might not match your expectations. If you found mistakes and pointed them out constructively, I would be very grateful, because I'm always willing to improve.

It seems that fate is what we're told to follow. What would happen if such a thing didn't exist? Sometimes I think of the past, in the middle of the night, and I read out loud for the stars that may be hearing. I read stories like this one, lines of pointless text that won't make any sense to me, as if they were in a foreign language. You'd think it stupid but let me say: isn't everything else stupid nowadays? Stupid, stupid, stupid. Maybe some stupid things are worth our time, don't you think? There's a thing called heart that people aren't fond of following, they instead follow fate, whilst thinking it doesn't exist.

Type. I need to keep on typing. Typing more arbitrary letter combinations that end up being words, isn't it like magic? The magic that fuels life, the life of the writer whose brain is composed by characters, like a computer's code. Is able a writer to compose the code of life? Or is life itself the one that wraps around the writer's code and adopts the form of that creation? Isn't writing like being the god of reality's imagination? Maybe if you keep on typing reality will eventually change. Arbitrary letter combinations tend to do that fairly often, don't they?

Wow, that was surprisingly fun! Even if it came out kind of weird, heh.
