It should be easy, right?
I mean... we all talk. We know how dialogue sounds in real life.
Making our characters talk to each other should be a breeze.
You listen to how people talk in real life, and you realize that you can't use that for your fiction at all.
They will repeat themselves, stammer, use er a lot, be long-winded, agreeing with each other...
... and overall be boring if it was written down and shared as character dialogue.
Writing dialogue can be a struggle.
The first one is to tell two characters apart. How do you find their authentic voices?
Write voice journals, some say.
A voice journal is when you sit down and write from your character's point of view as if you were that character. It can be a snippet of diary, a rant, anything.
You must keep writing until their true voice comes forth.
I wrote and wrote, but I never felt certain that what I found was that character's true voice.
Then I heard about rapid releases... and who has time to spend seven hours writing voice journals for each character in a book?
There had to be a better way.
And there is.
But why is all that important?
It's not always possible, of course.
Real human beings sometimes sound like each other as well.
But overall... Your reader should be able to know when your heroine speaks and when your hero speaks without reading the dialogue tags.
And no, using dialect will not work. It's tiresome to read in the long run.
One way to tell your characters apart is when you KNOW that character A would NEVER say what character B just said.
Making what your characters are saying different, makes them whole and rounded characters. They'll go from being flat 2D characters to living, breathing 3D characters in your reader's mind.
If you're a Star Trek fan, and you've seen Next Generation, you will in a few episodes have seen Captain Picard talk unlike how he usually did.
You knew that, because the character was familiar to you. You've gotten to know him through many, many episodes.
So, when he suddenly didn't talk the way he usually did, something was wrong. He was either possessed by an alien or something similar.
When I finally found out what I needed to make realistic dialogue, I could have kicked myself for not doing it sooner.
After all... we're talking about a recognized psychological mechanism here.
By knowing just ONE thing about my characters, I could cut down on my writing time and produce realistic dialogue.
As a plus, I also figured out how to weed out the on-the-nose parts of my dialogue, and I share that inside ABC Dialogue Method as well.

As writers we tend to focus on the big picture. Plot structures, settings, characters and all of that.
Too often we ignore the "small" things. Things like dialogue.
It's a mistake we all make. And it's a big one.
Dialogue is one of the fastest and easiest ways to improve your writing.
