Re: Let's talk about dialogue!

[personal profile] tellytubby101 2012-12-18 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I actually read aloud my dialogue, normally once the scene or exchange is finished. It helps to a remarkable degree to hear the words and helps me catch odd-sounding phrases or when the dialogue begins to get too long or OOC.

It also helps if I put myself in the mindset of each character speaking. Like, would a gruff, reserved character phrase that sentence so affectionately? Should I add in any adverbs or adjectives to clarify how they are speaking? I think of how it sounds aloud - the tone, the pauses, etc. - and try to convey that to the reader.
