What Is a Dialogue Writing?

When you think of a dialogue, the first thing that pops into your mind would be two or more people talking. But what about when you add writing to the mix? What comes next? Writing a dialogue technically presents two or more characters talking. This explains to the reader more about the character or characters and how they converse with others as well. 

What makes a good dialogue writing?

When you wish to make a good dialogue writing, things to consider would be your grammar, punctuations and the length. Listed below are some  things to consider when you want to make a good dialogue writing work:

• Putting yourself in your character’s shoes.

Pretend to be the character you want to write. What is she or he going to do and say. Write that down. Put life in your characters, do not make them too dull. 

• Keep moving.

If you think the conversation between characters is confusing enough, do not explain. Let everything fall into place. Even when there is conflict in the dialogue, move on. 

• Use actions to break the dialogue.

Interrupt once in a while. This makes the dialogue more sensible and practical when read.

• Read your dialogue out loud.

This helps with finding out if it sounds good or you need to change a few things.

• Lastly, have some fun

When writing the dialogue, remember to have some fun with it. But remember to base it on the theme, the story or the idea you are going for. 

Rules in dialogue writing.

There are a few necessary things to follow when writing a dialogue. Listed below are a few simple rules. 

• Every character in your dialogue must get a new paragraph after everything they have said. Regardless if it is only a word. This is to show that this said character has said his or her lines.
