Re: Re: Spicing up dialog
One issues I have had trouble dealing with is the show don't tell approach. I took a class recently which was offered by the WDC university. There is wonderful treasure within this class. I found out that there are many different actions and reactions that can be used to show what is happening. As I was writing stories for this class I discovered, thanks to my friend that there are different ways to work dialogue into a story. By putting my new found knowledge to work I was able to write more interesting and lively stories that had natural dialogue and actions presented as people in real life communicate with each other.
