I've grown sick and Tired of all these so called "authors" that are out here stringing together a clusterfuck of words and then having the NERVE and the AUDACITY to try and call it "dialogue" so I took it upon myself to research the proper way to write conversations and posted it on here. You're welcome.

Here are 10 tips for how to write dialogue:

1. Say the dialogue out loud

2. Cut small talk when writing dialogue

3. Keep your dialogue brief and impactful

4. Give each character a unique voice

5. Add world-appropriate slang

6. Be consistent with the characters’ voices

7. Rememberwhothey’re speaking to

8. Avoid long dialogue paragraphs

9. Cut out greetings

10. Show who your character is

Dialogue Rules All Writers Should Follow

1. Each speaker gets a new paragraph. Every time someone speaks, you show this by creating a new paragraph. Yes, even if your characters are only saying one word, they get new paragraphs.

2. Each paragraph is indented.The only exception for this is if it’s the start of a chapter or after a scene break, where the first line is never indented, including with dialogue.

3. Punctuation for what’s said goes inside the quotation marks. Any time the punctuation is a part of the person speaking, they go inside the quotes so the reader knows how the dialogue is said.

4. Long speeches with several paragraphs don’t have end ’ll see more on this below, but overall, if one character is speaking for so long they have separate paragraphs, the quotation marks on the end are removed, but you start the next paragraph with them.

5. Use single quotes if the person speaking is quoting someone. If you have a character who says, “Man, don’t you love it when girls say, ‘I’m fine’?”, the single quotes indicate what someone else says.
