"Writing Good Stories This Way: Character Dialogues" is a guide to story writing. "All dialogue has a purpose," McGee said. For readers, it is to make the story memorable. As for the story itself, it's about letting the characters tell their own stories. When should your story's character speak? What should (or shouldn't) he say, and when exactly? Why do you say that when creating dialogue, you first need to forget how you speak? How to make characters with different personalities speak words that suit their own characteristics? How to deal with the idiosyncratic language quirks of unusual characters? This book helps you answer.
