Talking the Talk: How to make your dialogue sound realistic
featuring Penny Warner 
While writing dialogue can be challenging, it’s one of the most important skills you’ll need to tell your story. Dialogue moves the story along at a faster pace, and…
Dialogue makes a story come alive, as it:
- Reveals character
- Sets the mood
- Increases the drama, and
- Incorporates the advice, “Show, Don’t Tell”
