You’ve got to stop repeating phrases over and over again.’ J’s brows furrowed. ‘What do you mean? It’s not like I keep using “said” or something.’ D sighed. ‘You can use “said” sometimes, J. Just stop making your characters frown, smile and furrow their brows. It gets a bit distracting.' J scowled. ‘How do I tell the reader who’s talking then?’ D shrugged. ‘I mean, most readers can follow the dialogue for at least two or three lines without getting lost. Just skip dialogue and action tags for a few lines.’ J narrowed his eyes. ‘You speak as if your a writer.Dont act like your experienced with this.’ D shook his head. ‘I may not be a writer, but readers can still point out issues with writing. And editing, J. Did you do the editing yourself? Did you edit at all?’ J shrugged but said nothing. D rolled his eyes. ‘Seriously, dude. I liked the story, but couldn’t you have put a tad more effort into writing it? And maybe work on the editing a little bit.’ J glared at D and clinched his fists. ‘Well, as long as the story’s great, it’s good enough!’ D grinned. “Needs a few love triangles though.’
