  6. Meaning: Dialogue in fiction is a verbal exchange between two or more characters. If there is only one character talking aloud it is a monologue.

  7. Few Tips: 1. Ground Your Dialogue in a Scene: Imagine place, people around, think of the sounds coming from the background etc.

  8. Dialogue needs to have a point. It has to move the story along, reflect a character’s inner character and conflicts, expose secrets, goals, and wounds. Give Your Characters Distinct Speech Patterns. Think about: Age,Gender,Social background,Education level,Geographical area, Particular catch phrases,Verbosity.

  9. 4. Read dialogues aloud.  It’s meant to be heard, after all.  This will help you to listen to the voices of your characters, noticing the flow and movement of their words. 5. Contain differing points of view. When two people are conversing, their dialogue needs to reflect their characters and show they are at odds, with totally different motivations.

  10. 6. Avoid monologues. This is as true in dialogue as in life. Readers will get bored. Que. 1 Write a scene of dialogue that creates tension between your protagonist and antagonist. Que. 2 Write a scene of dialogue where two students are discussing their new subjects.
