As some of you may know from a few posts I made in the past... I’ve made a few attempts at writing in the past, my longest one getting to the better part of 40 pages before I gave up.
My problem has always been that I am bad at formatting my dialogue, fitting it into narration and making it flow, as well as the general format of the dialogue. Most of what I know about actual writing I’ve learned from the many authors I’ve read. I’ve seen a few authors who write their books almost entirely in narration and some who write almost all dialogue. It is hard to find even two authors who write their dialogue in the same style however and I have not been able to pick up the nack.
I think my narration is quite good, no issues there. I have a good idea to try another book, so I'm going to give it another try.
Anyone recommend any links to any guides on writing good dialogue?
