Dialogue tips

by Jim

It’s my opinion that one of the elements that trips writers up more than any other is dialogue. Understandably so. Creating independent voices for each of your characters is hard enough. Also making sure that the natural flow of conversation is always present while simultaneously using it to move the plot forward? That’s damn tricky.

I went looking for a handy set of guidelines for dealing with dialogue and found a really impressive one on About.com. Who knew?

As always when it comes to writing, the rules are made to be broken, and blah, blah, blah. But really…follow the rules. They’re pretty dead on.

  2. Read your dialogue out loud. It may read fabulously, but sometimes it doesn't speak fabulously.
