How can I write engaging dialogue for my story?

To write engaging dialogue, focus on making it sound natural and true to your characters. Use subtext and conflict.

What do you mean by subtext?

Subtext is the underlying meaning in dialogue. It's what characters really think or feel, even if they don't say it directly.

Can you give me an example of good dialogue?

Sure! Instead of saying 'I'm angry,' a character might say, 'I just love how you always forget my birthday.' This hints at their true feelings.

How do I make my characters' voices distinct?

You can give each character unique speech patterns, vocabulary, and mannerisms. Think about their background and personality.
