Dialogue tags can be distracting. Use action beats instead! Example: "She sighed. 'I know.'" instead of "'I know,' she sighed." Let actions do the talking! 💬🎭 #WritingDialogue #StrongerProse #SelfEditing #AmEditing #DesertMysticEditing

Processing written dialogue and making it real is crucial. One exercise that can shock, but help, with editing and practicing rewriting dialogue, is to search “said” or “says” in your text.
