On Mondays class we learned about Dialog which "moves the story along “and is the information of the story. We learned that there are many ways that dialog can hurt your story. Some of the mistakes in dialog are

1. Having too much dialog, such as in cartoons this may be overwhelming.

2. Then the use of monologging and having one person "yacking" or all the talking.

3. You don’t want the characters sounding to real or precise because people don’t always speak in complete sentences and correct manner.

other mistakes are 

· Using someone’s name too often.

· Telling me something I already know. 

· Making all the characters sound alike is another mistake since there are many reasons why people don’t sound alike such as accents, cultures, education and age just to name a few.

So to save yourselves some trouble you should fact check and know the lingo.
