Dialog

The incredible challenge of writing effective dialog can take untold hours of practice. Your characters' words should not sound forced or unnatural (and you should read your dialog aloud). Try to be utterly concise, (while taking into account the character's nature). One or two long speeches for principle characters might be allowable in one story.
