Write Killer Dialogue - Self-edit a novel - Part 5: Ch 28 - 31

Make your words less wooden

Chapters edited: 4

Writing good dialogue can be a challenge.

I struggled with it when writing Cereus & Limnic. I was afraid my characters would speak like stiff and unnatural.

In this video I discuss two ways that I improved how I wrote character speech. As well as what all good dialogue should do.

I also cover how two of my characters are based on two favorites from Season 1 of Pokemon, which leads into how to make characters more memorable.


Btw, has reading my emails inspired you to begin your novel?
