Writing Tip #WIPJoy 7
#WIPJoy Day 7 A writing tip that has helped you.
Use actions, emotions, and descriptions instead of “said” to indicate speakers. I had a mentor who made me take every single said, asked, answered, etc. out of the story. It was quite an exercise, but it helped me see that I could make dialogue work a lot harder for me than it was.
