Do's and Don'ts of Writing Dialogue.

  • Do not use overly fancy words to report speech.

  • Do not use unnecessary adjectives and adverbs. (sometimes a simple description is enough)

  • Be careful with punctuation.

  • Do not turn dialogue into:

    (a) Big blocks of expository material disguised as dialogue. (try to break it up in an intelligent way)

    (b) Conversations which say nothing at all except if applicable.

Managing Labels

Hi Kids,

I've discovered the answer to Rafi's question - "Labels" for Blogspot works the same way as "tags" for Wordpress and Livejournal. This means that if you want to group your posts by topic or "label" just create one for each post. For example - posts about web technology could get a "web-tech" label, posts about relationships could get a "relationship" label, etc.
