This type of "character progression":
page 1: "I'm so horrible, aaaaaa"
page 2, after one conversation: "You're right! Everything's not so bad!"

when a character is too perfect... like nothing is ever their fault and they arent bad at anything and always win, it just makes any "conflict" boring

I’m gonna sound ridiculous but my pet peeve is when they write dialogue like this:

- Hi I’m saying dialogue
- Yo I’m replying to the dialogue

I prefer:
“Hi I’m saying dialogue!” Person A said.
Person B replied, “Yo I’m replying to the dialogue.”

The first one, with the dashes, makes it so difficult to read :<

okay listen, when i write like the second one i feel like theres only so many "replied x, sighed x, exclaimed x, protested x" yadda yadda, like yes im not a very good writer but like how do i stop that cuz its gets so boring i feel. i feel its easier the other way idk. im not disagreeing just asking for advice, especially when the dialog is conversation heavy (also feel free to dm answer lol)

Omg I get you!! I struggle with that too LOL. Honestly, the way I get around it is if it’s strictly dialogue between two characters, and it’s obvious who’s speaking, I’ll just omit the verb.

Person A and B sat across each other at a table.

Person A spoke, “I’m speaking.”

“I’m replying.”


It’s made clear that Person B replied, even without a verb, cuz ur brain filled in the blanks and knows the situation, yknow!! The other thing is checking a thesaurus for other ways of saying “A spoke” or “B guffawed”. And finally the third option is to just accept writing “replied” 500 times HAHA, as a reader I’m not picky when it comes to vocab and truly don’t care if I see the word “shouted” six times, as long as the plot of the writing is good and gets across yk!!

My initial comment was more so about the usage of dashes because my eyes don’t register it as dialogue when it’s written that way (QwQ), but ofc if the plot is good I’ll continue regardless of how it’s written!

Lmao not me responding to the wrong message
An alternative people can try is to describe dialogue for example,

A asked what color is the sky and B answered that it was blue
