Writing Dialogue Resources, Plus Mega Sale for Novelists
|
|
|
Recently, I created a new free mini-course, The Writer Discovery Mini-Course (sign up here), and have been learning a lot about the writers sharing their replies with me.
Thanks to everyone who have been sharing their answers with me. I answer each email individually, though it may take me some time.
Just know, the very fact you take the time to answer the questions and send me the answer is an important step in making your dreams a reality.
One student asked me to share resources on writing dialogue, one of the central components of fiction.
In modern fiction, dialogue is a central component and serves two key functions in our stories:
- To reveal character
- To advancing the plot, either via action or to increase our worry for the characters
My husband and co-teacher in our courses and group program, likes to add a third function: humor.
Your story’s dialogue is prime real estate to make a good scene great. I consider it part of your story’s action.
Read the rest here:
Includes 2 short video clips excerpted from the Group Coaching program teaching videos and a list of 7 articles from our guest columnists on Writer's Fun Zone.
After reading this post and checking out the resources, what other questions do you have about “writing dialogue”?
Hit reply or add your comments to the post.
