&lt;div class="asl-wikipage-body"&gt;
&lt;div class="asl-wikipage-summary"&gt;When you&amp;#39;re writing a book, it&amp;#39;s easy to make the mistake of writing all your characters to sound like you. Author Bob Martin offers tips for writing dialogue in a novel. He suggests having a strong example in mind, such as an established actor, and imagining how that person or character speaks. Also, don&amp;#39;t use dialogue tags, such as &amp;quot;he said brusquely,&amp;quot; as a crutch to enhance lackluster dialogue. The dialogue itself should indicate how a character delivers it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class='asl-wikipage-body'&gt;&lt;div class='asl-wikipage-summary'&gt;When you're writing a book, it's easy to make the mistake of writing all your characters to sound like you. Author Bob Martin offers tips for writing dialogue in a novel. He suggests having a strong example in mind, such as an established actor, and imagining how that person or character speaks. Also, don't use dialogue tags, such as "he said brusquely," as a crutch to enhance lackluster dialogue. The dialogue itself should indicate how a character delivers it. Another suggestion is to use friends to play act a scene to capture natural dialogue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='asl-wikipage-media'&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-00-67/ALCBobMartinTipsforWritingDialogue.mp3"&gt;www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../ALCBobMartinTipsforWritingDialogue.mp3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
