On this website I constant see this sort of speech:
"Why should I listen to her?" She said.
"Because she knows what's best for you!" He said.
"I don't care!"
"You should."
GUYS WHAT THE FUCK?!
Not only is this boring but it's repetitive. I see many people talking about how each speech needs to have a whole paragraph with it.
For example:
"Why should I listen to her?" She questioned, leaning back further into her chair. If she leant any further she would most likely topple over and somehow make sure I get the blame.
"Because she cares for you!" I yelled. I was tired of her complaining, Mother and I constantly begging for her to listen, attempts futile. *3 more sentences*
"I don't care!" Lia screeched, pale platinum hair clung to the chair and she stood up. *paragraph*
"You should!" *cue whole page of description*
While this is great stuff, you always need to remember though to not use too much, once you use to much description you're going to run out of words and when you do something basic readers aren't gonna be pleased. Instead use this but sprinkle a basic; 'She said' or 'She muttered here and there so if you need to add basic it won't look messy and disorganised. I used to do this (not as well tho) and once I realised that sometimes simple is better and readers don't always want very descriptive things my writing improved a ton, and while I still struggle in making my descriptions have uncommon/big words, you can literally just search them up instead of spending hours racking ur brain for words you don't know. Another thing, after 2/3 speech between 2 people you don't need to add any dialogue if it isn't important, it saves time, energy and vocab.
Try this:
"Why should I listen to her?" She questioned, leaning back further into her chair. If she leant any further she would most likely topple over and somehow make sure I get the blame.
"Because she cares for you!" I yelled. I was tired of her complaining, Mother and I constantly begging for her to listen, attempts futile.
"I don't care!" Lia screeched in distain.
"You should..."
"But I won't!"
In short don't use the added dialogue a ton, sprinkle some simple sentences so readers don't think ur writing is getting worse and quit
