Writing tips: He said, she said...

Readers don't tend to notice 'said', while it's there in the sentence, it doesn't give the sentence any life. It gets the job done, mostly...

Here are some options to try!

whispered / muttered / mumbled → soft or secretive

shouted / yelled / barked → anger, urgency

growled / hissed → danger, teasing, frustration

murmured / breathed → intimacy, vulnerability

snapped / barked / snapped back → irritation, defensiveness

laughed / chuckled / giggled → laughing, fun, playful or flirty

asked / questioned / queried / inquired → curiosity, questioning

demanded / insisted → authority or control

sighed / groaned → fatigue, exasperation, longing

When you're looking to replace said, think about why. You'll generally want to do this when you need the following:

when the tone of the line needs more context.

when you want to show emotion instead of telling it.

when your character’s body language, action, or expression can do the talking instead.

Take a look at the scene you're writing, is the character saying their line? Or are they yelling it? Screaming it? Are they enraged, or perhaps is their voice a broken whisper from grief?

That being said, you shouldn't always avoid using 'said.' It's easy to read in long sentences, and it keeps the focus on the dialogue rather than the rest of the scenes. That may be beneficial and a key component to parts of your story.

014 . MURCOTT —  [ 𝚕𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚗 𝚍𝚊𝚢𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖 ] …… DOWNLOAD NOW You’ve been wanting it and here it is! MURCOTT, the file in a folder, government document of your dreams. This was MAJORLY requested and messaged about, along with winning in the survey results and I’m happy to bring it to you now. MURCOTT comes in original and bloody, along with three logos (though you can replace it with whatever you like. Feel free to edit it in any way, shape, or form just please don’t remove my credit and link to lemondaydream. Also please do not redistribute. These are meant to be only used by the purchaser or as a gift for another person. Allowing others to make copies off of your copy is stealing. (( Some people are having trouble viewing in Firefox, if this is happening to you, please contact me! )) how to use

Click the link, select “file” and then “make a copy”

Do not remove the credit from the top and bottom of the template

how to edit

This document has “Drawing” elements! To edit a “drawing” simply right-click, “select image,” and the box that pops up underneath has a button that says “edit.” Edit will bring you to a pop-up window that will allow you to change color, text, every part of it you like. - All pictures in polaroids on this template are Drawings! To edit them, enter the Drawings window, click the image, and then select “replace image” at the top.

The easiest way to edit and change any of the images is to right-click on the image and then click “replace image” in order to change it. Do not copy and paste images into the doc, it will ruin the formatting.

Do not resize or paste any images into the doc, only use the method above. Resizing any images on the doc will cause things to move or elements of the design to be hidden.

To mimic the design and make it look as realistic as possible, please make sure to USE CAPS THROUGHOUT. If you don’t use caps or forget, you can hit Ctrl+A and then go to Format > Text > Capitalization > UPPPERCASE.

The pictures are of Imaan Hammam, from google images. 

I don’t recommend changing fonts on this doc.

The tables are structured in a way that will move pages and elements if their limit is exceeded, if you need more space, I highly recommend linking to a continuation at the end of that space. Likes and reblogs are much appreciated!!
