Dialogue.

Description is tough, it’s something I often forget unless I remind myself. I actually have a sticky note on the side of my monitor about it. Otherwise sometimes my characters wind up floating in a bubble.

Actions are also tricky because it’s such a delicate balance. Need to describe enough people can picture it, but not describe everything as that is boring and ruins the pace. Actions need to be punchy, otherwise it feels slow and not realistic.

Whereas dialogue I can say out loud, I can practice conversations. Plus I speak all the time, whereas I don’t walk around narrating whatever I see and do. I also like to write ‘thinking’ and I do that probably way more than I should. My paragraphs always look like I’m writing description but really my character is just thinking.

Thanks so much for the ask! 🙂
