Dialogue isn’t small talk—it’s story in motion.
Every exchange should reveal character or advance conflict. Want a quick test? Read your scene aloud. If it sounds like a script, trim. If it sounds alive, keep it.
Polish your dialogue for impact and realism.

Some weeks you’ll fly, others you’ll crawl. Both count.
The real progress is showing up, even when confidence lags.
Writing is learned through doing—every messy draft teaches you something true. Keep going; your story matters.

Flat tension kills great stories.
At every major point, ask: what’s the worst that could happen if my protagonist fails? Then make it worse.
High stakes keep pages turning and readers emotionally invested.
