Now, you know everything needed to write great dialogue.

Ask yourself, have I:

• tried to keep it interesting, not too much fancy jargon?
• made it sound like speech, not writing?
• ensured the speech matches the speaker?
• made sure you can tell who’s talking?
• given it meaning and purpose?
• allowed each speaker his/her due?
• written enough and unobtrusive taglines?
• created a good back-and-forth, so no one’s hogging the mic unless that’s their vibe?

So, let your characters talk, give them a chance. Write that dialogue, and let them shine. Surprise yourself. Go on, get those voices heard!
