Good Reference for Your Dialogue Needs

[lavanya_six]

 Whenever I trawl FFnet for new fanfic at random, a lot of the fics I come across from first-time writers have a big problem with stilted dialogue. It sound unnatural and it has me closing that tab faster than nothing else. That's why I want to share to this episode from the podcast Writing Excuses that focuses specifically on avoiding stilted dialogue. It's a good reference for writers, both new ones and ones learning to improve themselves, to think about how to use dialogue in their stories.
