Don’t Let Your Dialogue Lose You Readers 

Omw, I love milanote! My friend's and I like to use if for our characters for our homebrew DnD sessions.

😂 That’s it, I’m changing careers!

That's fair, this is all just my own preference really. Like I said, everyone will have their own approach.

It's genuinely brilliant for me, I use it for all sorts! :)

Always a tricky one! I think adding a little more physical movement and a few more dialogue tags can help make things clearer. The added context can stop it all mixing together. Don't be afraid to have characters refer to each other by name, or by some other characteristic (eg, 'Hey, scruffy') so that your reader can distinguish between them easily too. Something I like to do that I think mirrors really life in some ways, is to have little alliances in conversations too. Two people who are closer to each other than the other person, or people they're with will speak differently to each other than the others, they'll be their own little pocket in the conversation. This works especially well if you've got two good guys and a bad guy talking for example. It turns into two distinct teams rather than three separate people, and that makes it clear who might be talking. I find conversations of more than two people always need heavier editing, so just do your best on the first draft and then shoot for clarity when you're editing, thinking about what you absolutely NEED to have in there. Hopefully the above makes some kind of sense!

Hey thank you, much appreciated ☺️ The only way I give feedback is through my editing service on my website I’m afraid, I’m not sure if that would quite fit what you’re looking for though.
