A Story With Talking
When your characters talk, your story comes to life on the page.
The move
Dialogue is when a character speaks. Put quotation marks around the exact words they say, like this: Mia said, "Let's build it together."
Write it
Write a short story about two people solving a problem together. Include at least one line of dialogue with quotation marks.
