Hello hello
Prompt: Do you ever write stories just using dialogue? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

I love writing dialogue. One of my favourite contests is Dialogue 500. It gives me the freedom from writing dialogue tags. It leaves it up to the reader to imagine what each character is doing as they speak or how their words are portraying emotions. There are ways of informing without tags by questions such as “ Why are you crying?”
Or “why has your face gone that colour? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Dialogue is so much better than an info dump, it can tell the story in a more informative and interesting manner.
I’m tempted here to give an example of one of the five hundred word limit entries into the dialogue contest. The prompts are usually whacky and way out which is usually hilarious.
