Whenever writing dialogue one(me) tends to write the phrase: “-s/he said” a lot.
I try to substitute it with other things like: suddenly s/he shouted: et, etc or: a mans voice rang through the room: Yada Yada...
stuff like that. But I feel it’s getting somewhat repetitive.
Should I just assume the reader will be able to tell who’s talking from what their saying and how they’re saying it? But what if the reader gets confused??? I’m a noob writer so I would like to make sure that my mediocre story, is at the very least, understandable.
Any advice?
