Hey there everyone and welcome back to my blog.

Today is another dialogue post. One I found while searching.

“As a writer, dialogue lets you:

• Show rather than tell – when characters act and speak, they become real to us
• Build tension and drama, furthering the plot
• Reveal character in what’s said (or what isn’t said)
• Create white space on the page – attractive to busy readers”

You can read the whole article on the website Write To Done.

It gives good advice like on grounding the characters in the scene to give a sense as to where they are along with not to put exposition in the dialogue. What that means is no “As you know,” type of dialogue. One character telling the others things they would already know.
