“i will love you if you don’t marry me. i will love you if you marry someone else… and i will love you if you have a child, and i will love you if you have two children, or three children, or even more… and i will love you if you never marry at all, and never have children, and spend your years wishing you had married me after all, and i must say that on late, cold nights, i prefer this scenario out of all the scenarios i have mentioned.” – lemony snicket, the beatrice letters

Long before you were born, your father promised his firstborn to otherworldly beings in exchange for power. In a twist of fate, your mother also promised her firstborn to dark gods.

So I’ve been reading a lot of amateur writing lately, and I’ve noticed what seems to be a common problem: dialogue.
Tell me if this looks familiar. You start writing a conversation, only to look down and realize it reads like:
“I’m talking now,” he said.
“Yes, I noticed,” she said.
“I have nothing much to add to this conversation,” the third person said.
And it grates on your ears. So much ‘said.’ It looks awful! It sounds repetitive. So, naturally, you try to shake it up a bit:
“Is this any better?” He inquired.
“I’m not sure,” she mused.
“I definitely think so!” that other guy roared.
This is not an improvement. This is worse.
Now your dialogue is just as disjointed as it was before, but you have the added problem of a bunch of distracting dialogue verbs that can have an unintentionally comedic effect.
So here’s how you avoid it: You mix up the dialogue with description.
“Isn’t this better?” he asked, leaning forward in his seat. “Don’t you feel like we’re more grounded in reality?”
She nodded, looking down at her freshly manicured nails. “I don’t feel like a talking head anymore.”
“Right!” that annoying third guy added. “And now you can get some characterization crammed into the dialogue!”
The rules of dialogue punctuation are as follows:
Each speaker gets his/her own paragraph - when the speaker changes, you start a new paragraph.
Within the speaker’s own paragraph, you can include action, interior thoughts, description, etc.
You can interrupt dialogue in the middle to put in a “said” tag, and then write more dialogue from that same speaker.
You can put the “said” tag at the beginning or end of the sentence.
Once you’ve established which characters are talking, you don’t need a “said” tag every time they speak.
ETA: use a comma instead of a period at the end of a sentence of dialogue, and keep the ‘said’ tag in lower caps. If you end on a ? or !, the ‘said’ tag is still in lower case. (thanks, commenters who pointed this out!)
Some more examples:
“If you’re writing an incomplete thought,” he said, “you put a comma, then the quote mark, then the dialogue tag.”
“If the sentence ends, you put in a period.” She pointed at the previous sentence. “See? Complete sentences.”
“You can also replace the dialogue tag with action.” Extra guy yawned. “When you do, you use a period instead of a comma.”
So what do you do with this newfound power? I’m glad you asked.
You can provide description of the character and their surroundings in order to orient them in time and space while talking.
You can reveal characterization through body language and other nonverbal cues that will add more dimension to your dialogue.
You can add interior thoughts for your POV character between lines of dialogue - especially helpful when they’re not saying quite what they mean.
You can control pacing. Lines of dialogue interrupted by descriptions convey a slower-paced conversation. Lines delivered with just a “said” tag, or with no dialogue tag at all, convey a more rapid-fire conversation.
For example:
“We’ve been talking about dialogue for a while,” he said, shifting in his seat as though uncomfortable with sitting still.
“We sure have,” she agreed. She rose from her chair, stretching. “Shall we go, then?”
“I think we should.”
“Great. Let’s get out of here.”
By controlling the pacing, you can establish mood and help guide your reader along to understanding what it is that you’re doing.
I hope this helps you write better dialogue! If you have questions, don’t hesitate to drop me an ask :)
Yes but at the same time we aren't all assholes. There needs to be a healthy balance. There are bad people in the world obviously and lots of people stereotype but EVERYONE needs to remember that most of the world is good.
This post needs to be shared in all the blogs.
I've been sorta dating this guys for how weeks and recently (today) we began to talk about tv and he said he's watched Sherlock my favorite show...

WHY ARENT MY FRIENDS THEATER NERDS??
I just want friend who will watch musicals with me and learn all the lyrics to the songs so we can dramatically reenact them together.
A close friend of mine reminded me of how important an issue depression and suicide is. If a freind or someone you know might self-harm (physically or not) or try to kill themselves (actively or passively), talk to them!
Don’t try to talk them out of it or threaten to tell anyone. I know what it is like to be in the worst state of mind and there oftentimes it is not trying to be a councelor or psychiatrist that saves a person, it is trying to be a friend.
When I was in 7th grade we visited USC as part of the CJSF program. There was a normal tour and then we had some free time. Of course my friends and I decided to explore. My friend, Krishn was crazy about photography at the time and wanted to find the tallest spot in the college so he could take a particular type of photo. We split up to go up and find what was the tallest one we could access.
There was a girl who was going to jump off one of the (I think it was engineering?) buildings at USC. She had bombed her third final and she was already on academic probation at this rate she wasn’t going to be able to keep the scholarship she was using. Heading towards the edge, a psychiatrist with their “let’s talk through your feelings” wasn’t going to stop that girl from jumping.
What stopped her was my friends who saw her jacket tossed on the floor gushing about how it was a teen wolf jacket that she absolutely had to have. She wanted to know where to get it and the girl turned and told her. Explaining how she found it at some site when she had been drunk and she expected it to be a scam and drunken money wasting but it wasn’t. We talked to her and asked her about college and fangirled about our favorites ships. Sterek for the win, guys!!! We talked about shows we watch and our hobbies. Then we dragged her over to tell what was the best thing to eat and had her order so we could use her student discount.
one of my favorite weird history moments has got to be when american agents tasked with nixon’s security while he was in the soviet union as vice president under eisenhower detected unusual amounts of radiation in his hotel room so they discussed it loudly to each other to make sure the soviets knew that they knew since there were obviously bugs everywhere and the next day it just mysteriously went away and they never learned any more about it
Have you ever seen an actor and felt like they were cute but they were too old for you so you tried to convince yourself you respected them in a healthy way as a person but in reality you had a crush on them?
This is mesmerizing to watch.
I GOT A FRICKEN CONCUSSION
Happiness Will Come To You.
The only comic appropriate for today.
a while back my best friend linked me to a thread on homemade My Little Pony transformation hypnosis tapes
that’s a really loaded sentence so let me ease into it
they were like, hour long recordings you were supposed to lay down and listen to and focus on nothing else, that started off with some relaxation techniques then eased into like, “feel your hands becoming hooves. remember pinkie pie’s happy memories. imagine yourself literally becoming pinkie pie. imagine your pink mane. you are literally pinkie pie”
all with the goal of putting you in a mental state where you were convinced you were this cartoon pony. and it was full of people like “wow! this was so relaxing. i felt like i literally Became rarity”
the problem is that human brains are kind of, buggy? so people, especially if they listened to the tapes too much, started like, accidentally going to this mental state they’d created at random inopportune times. the thread was suddenly full of people desperate to know how to stop it because they were turning into rainbow dash in the middle of driving on a highway to work, or whatever
anyway, i’m just burdened with that knowledge forever, now. i think about it a lot
Why are we not worshipping Tom Felton?
