A mother and son conversation before both leave for a trip.6 total reviews
Comment from Lyn Peters
Interesting dialogue between mom and son - in a short time, you managed to share so much about the family (past and present). I like the way you kept referring to the weight of the suitcase...makes this reader wonder exactly what is inside. I'll look forward to reading more of your work in the future. Wishing you good health and happy writing.

Thank you, Annie. I do plan on posting it. I need to get a few more chapters before I begin because I'm trying to keep my chapters short,

I enjoyed your contest entry. Your lines read well like a real conversation. There is good flow. Your characters are well-characterized--the ever present nosy mother and the evasive son.
May I suggest ~
For this contest, writers are not allowed to use any kind of speech tags. So you need to delete the words like Daniel said, he asked, and so on. Also if you could make several paragraphs with a blank line between them, it would help in the reading. Another idea is to leave off the quotation marks--just be sure that readers understand who is talking without saying who is talking.
Best wishes. Jan

Thank you, Jan. I was unclear on whether or not to use quotations or identifiers.

I have seen many with no " " since it is a dialogue only everyone knows there is dialogue. As for the speech tags, make sure you delete ALL of them--none are allowed. Also a few line breaks would help in reading your lines.

A very well constructed dialogue, It was easy to keep up with who was speaking. I this this will be a very interesting book. The dialouge stands by itself and needs no image support.
