We all know great dialogue when we read it—and the best dialogue seems effortless. But good dialogue takes work and a few key ingredients. For Regency characters, dialogue also conveys status, personality, and it is often the sparkling with needed to take a book from average to brilliant.
What do you need to get your characters talking in ways that make for riveting, exciting scenes that have a Regency flair?
1) Your Characters’ Voices—word choices and resources
2) Conflict: Everyone Needs to Want Something
3) Making it Better Than Reality
4) Subtext: Layering Under the Words
5) Internal Dialogue – What’s too Much?
6) Invisible Tags and Punctuation
7) Accents, Ye Olde English (or regions in England matter)
8) Punch it! – Making Careful Edits
