Dialogue is very important to the story. It can give details without the use of a lengthy narrative. However, it can also completely sabotage your story by becoming lengthy or even inappropriate. Common mistakes often associated with dialogue are:
-Too much monologuing
-Dialogue sounding too real
-Saying a name too often
-Repetitive facts
-Everyone sounds the same
Dialogue must be correct for the character. There are many things to consider when writing dialogue for a certain character. They include:
-education
-culture
-accents
-regionalism
-age: physical and maturity level
-race
-gender
We watched Stanley Kubrock's Full Metal Jacket. The film did a great job of providing the characters with appropriate dialogue.
