Putting the Action with the Dialogue

Observatory- Morning
As Tailynn walks out a group of people walk in chatting and laughing. She walks straight ahead and to a large desk with a women behind the desk. There is a small sign that says Shelia and a larger sign that says Observatory.

Shelia
Good Afternoon. How can I help you?

Tailynn
Well I'm new here and I just wanted to explore a little

Shelia
Wonderful. Welcome to the Innocence Observatory. This is the main observatory. From here you can go to Earth and solve your murder (points to double doors) or you can watch trials. Either one you choose. We are open everyday, all day. THere are two other observatories. One is attached to the Cafe and that one is for open only during the day for trial viewing only. The other is down the hall to the left and is for finding evidence and researching your murder only. Do you have any questions for me?

Tailynn
Actually yes. Wherre can I go to see my family?

Shelia
   Unfortunately no. That is not an option. You can see your family during your trial and sometimes when you are on Earth but you cannot go to Earth to visit them. That would be abusing the system and would result in Impeachment.

Effective Dialogue (Blog 8)

1.Make sure that your dialogue encompasses both what is said and what is left unsaid.
2.The best dialogue sounds like the reader/watcher is eavesdropping, not like the participants are performing.
3.Do not make characters from other characters. Characters will come through dialgoue and actions
