Hello Helen,
Welcome to TNBW!  I'll second Vern's comments about the site--glad you joined us.  Regards, Randy

Hi LA,
Dialogue tags are used to help the readers (and also the author) know who is saying what.  When I first started writing my novel, I used a tag for nearly every line even when it was clear who was speaking.  I also didn't realize that it was better to put something like, he said, rather than said Johnny, if that makes sense.  Most of my tags now are likely quite boring as probably 90 percent are ..... said, although I've started adding some character movement and description in with these, such as Johnny burped, covering his wide mouth to mask his embarrassment.  The movements help to bring the characters to life and can be used to help the readers visualize the characters.

Thanks for working with us. Look forward to the next lesson!

Posted my dialogue scene for lesson two: http://www.thenextbigwriter.com/posting … mple-21904
It's a scene I'm working on for my novel, The Kurdish Connection.

Just posted my homework for lesson two.  It's under short stories.

Completed a review of Jube's 'The World Of Phyries" chapter 8.

Sounds good to me.  Thanks!

Hi LA,
