The most common form of dialogue is to express "so-and-so". Many writers will use this form whenever they write dialogues in their articles.
So-and-so said, "12345 .............................."
So-and-so said, "987654321........."
So-and-so says it looks neat throughout, but as an article, it will feel monotonous after reading it for a long time.
So how can we polish the dialogue in our novel to make it look literary and express the plot of the characters' advancement well?
(1) added adjectives and descriptions.
This is the easiest way to polish the dialogue. When you speak, you can add the expression of the speaking role, you can also add actions, and you can also add simple adjectives to modify it.
So-and-so said in shock, "You know all this!" (Add expression)
So-and-so waved and said, "Others!" (Add operation)
Seeing this scene, so-and-so shouted, "You can't touch anything here!" (add adjectives)
In this way, one can express the speaker's emotions while writing the dialogue content, and the other is to render the atmosphere needed by the plot, such as tension, anxiety or calm and happiness.
(2) Use different sentence patterns.
This method avoids the monotony caused by a single "XX theory" by changing the sentence pattern of the dialogue. The speaker can appear first, or put the speaker after the dialogue, or put the speaker in the middle of the sentence. It should be noted that punctuation should be paid attention to when using this method.
Example:
So-and-so sword drawn: "Take people's lives!" (The speaker is in front, talking and moving, without adding words like "say" and "Tao")
"Because you want to take my life?" XXX gave a sneer. (The speaker is at the back, which applies to the situation that the dialogue is at the front, the action is behind the dialogue, or several people answer during the dialogue)
"You two can't leave today." So-and-so is drinking a little wine leisurely, "unless there is a fairy to save." The speaker is in the middle, which is suitable for long sentences and can form a buffer. In this way, you should pay attention to the comma before the second quotation mark, not the colon. )
Through the adaptation of sentence patterns, hidden rhythms can be added to the long dialogue, and an urgent or slow atmosphere can be created according to the needs of the plot. At the same time, watching the whole story will not be boring, which will help enrich the level of the article.
(3) Only dialogue, no other explanation.
This method is suitable when there are only two people in the scene, because there are only two people, and one person can't understand a word. You can omit the topic of the speech and start a dialogue directly.
"Come here and clean up here!"
"I want to clean myself up, I don't clean."
"How dare you, a disciple outside the door, be so wild!"
"I admit that you bullied me before, but now I've had enough!"
In this dialogue, only the oppressed protagonist and the oppressor villain appear, so you can use this form without speakers. This form is generally suitable for plots that need to highlight emergency scenes, such as shouting between the two sides before the war; Or when there are only two people, the content of the conversation is the main content you want to express, such as when the man and the woman tell each other that they want to express their love.
However, it should be noted that this method cannot be too long. Generally, after a few sentences, the speaker should be mentioned at an appropriate time to avoid the long dialogue, so that readers can't keep up with the plot or aesthetic fatigue.
These are the three main ways of dialogue that can be used in online novels. As a very important part of promoting the plot, if you can write a good dialogue, I believe it will definitely add a lot of color to your work ~
