Dialogue...Dialogue...Dialogue....the importance of Dialogue...how great art thee??? Lamont definitely believes that dialogue plays a big part to becoming a good writer. When doing your writing...your dialogue should have a voice to it that readers can hear. She said that, "in the right hands, dialogue can move things along in a way that will leave you breathless." Lamott says to help you along with your dialogue you should listen to all the conversations from people who are around you. Also you should be able to identify each of your characters from their dialogue. Not saying that this will happen overnight, but you definitely should put ur time and effort into it.
This was definitely useful to me because in a sense, what advice she gave, I've already began to do so. Its fun for me to make characters and not so much describe them, but let your dialogue tell the tale of who they are.
Dialogue is very important. To me when you have good dialogue the story you are reading is so much better. It creates a sense of being easier to follow and as a result easier to read. Without good dialogue a story can be boring and not hold the interest of of people. Some writers may feel that dialogue is not important, I personally do not agree. Dialogue creates a sense of structure in my opinion.
