That moment I realized all my characters sounded the same
I was critiquing a story for a friend 2 months ago and she goes "every single one of your characters talks like you do in real life." I read back through my last 3 pieces and yeah she was totally right. I had been using the same slang and sentence patterns for the hero, the villain, and a 70 year old grandma. Has anyone else found a trick for breaking out of your own voice when writing dialogue?

Wait, so you're telling me my 70 year old grandma character shouldn't talk like she just got back from a skatepark? Who knew.
