As someone with autism this is what my brain does all the time. But with more anxiety and less realistic conversation scenarios.
This is a good book I read not long ago. Improv(e) Your Conversations: Think on Your Feet, Witty .... It's not a long book and an enjoyable read. Each chapter takes a few minutes to read.
My take away from the book is to find what the other parties want to talk about and get them to talk about it. Also that controversial topics generally make conversations more memorable and form more intimate relationships.
If you haven't already read Carnegie, "How to win friends and influence people" is a surprisingly useful book on the same subject. Comes with some mnemonic devices and a lot of salient day to day advice in addition to the conversational tips.
