A guy at the library book sale said my dialogue was too clean
I was grabbing a stack of old paperbacks and this older man glanced at my notebook. He said real people stumble and interrupt each other, not talk in perfect paragraphs. I have been editing all my scenes this week to add more crossed words and half finished sentences. Has anyone else gotten feedback that wrecked their writing style for the better?

Yeah that's basically what David Mamet says about dialogue too.
