I enjoy reading and writing stories where the characters have distinct ways of speaking. It's something that I need to pay more attention to on my own writing. It's often difficult because, at least for me, I write what the characters tell me to write, and because they're in my head, they often speak like I do.
I do try to switch it up. I currently have a story where a minor character speaks rather formally. Proper sentence structure, no contractions.
My biggest problem is trying to teach the damn autocorrect that slang and regional dialects exists. If I drop a 'g' it always tries to add it back 🙄
