In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Some stories might work best with simple dialogue descriptors like "said" or "answered." Others might sound great with more descriptive words, like "protested" or "exclaimed." Your story might even work with a mix of the two! Go with whatever sounds best to you in the context of your work. No matter what you choose, make sure you don't use the same descriptor over and over. This gets repetitive and boring for the reader. It should provide information to the reader about the story or the characters. Dialogue is a great way to prove character development or character information that your reader might not otherwise get.  Don't do small talk about the weather or how each character is doing, even if that's something that comes up a lot in real conversations. Now, a way in which small talk would be well used is to build up tension. For example, a character really needs certain information from another character, but the second character insists upon the ritual of small talk, your reader and your character will be biting their nails in waiting to get to the good stuff. All your dialogue should have a purpose. As you're writing dialogue, ask yourself, "what does this add to the story?" "What am I trying to tell the reader about the character or the story?" If you don't have an answer to those questions, scrap the dialogue. This is a big one that a lot of people have the tendency to do. You think, what better way to get information across to my reader than by having my characters discuss it at length? Hold it right there! Background information needs to be added sporadically throughout the story.  For example of what not to do: Jane turned to Charles and said, "Oh Charles, remember when my father died a mysterious death and my family was turned out of our home by my evil aunt Agatha?" "I do remember that, Jane. You were only 12-years-old and you had to drop out of school to help out your family." A better version of the above might go something like: Jane turned to Charles, her lips set in a grim line. "I heard from aunt Agatha today." Charles was taken aback. "But she was the one that kicked your family out of your house. What did she want?" "Who knows, but she started hinting things about my dad's death." "Things?" Charles raised an eyebrow. "She seemed to think his death wasn't natural." Conversations, especially in stories, are layered affairs. There's usually more than one thing going on in them, so you want to make sure that you capture the subtext of each situation.  There are lots of ways to say things. So, if you have a character that you want to say something like "I need you," try having them say as much, without actually saying it. For example: Charles started for his car. Jane placed a hand on his arm; she was chewing at her lip. "Charles, I...do you really have to go so soon?" she asked, withdrawing her hand. "We still haven't figured out what we're going to do." Don't have your characters say everything they're feeling or thinking. That will give away too much and won't allow for any suspense, or nuance. You want your dialogue to be interesting and to keep your reader engaged in the story. This means skimming over background conversations, like people at the bus stop discussing the weather, and getting into the meaty conversations, like Jane's confrontation with treacherous Aunt Agatha.  Engage your characters in arguments or have them say surprising things, as long as these things are in character for them. Dialogue should be interesting. If everyone is agreeing or asking and answering basic questions, the dialogue will get boring. Intersperse your dialogue with action. When people are having conversations they fiddle with things, laugh, wash the dishes, trip over things, and so on. Adding these things to the dialogue will make it come alive. For example: "You don't think a healthy specimen like your daddy would've just sickened and died," Aunt Agatha said with a cackle. Jane clung to the shreds of her temper, replying "Sometimes people get sick." "And sometimes they get a little help from their friends." Aunt Agatha sounded so smug Jane wanted to reach through the phone and wring her neck. "if someone killed him, Aunt Agatha, do you know who?" "Oh, I've got a few notions, but I'll let you decide on your own."
Summary: Match your dialogue verbs to the tone of your story. Move the story forward with your dialogue. Don't info dump in your dialogue. Add subtext. Mix it up.

Make sure to get a receipt in case you lose or damage the check; unlike a personal check, you can't simply tear it up and write a new one. The receipt will have the check number and date, allowing you to contact the bank in case you should lose the check for any reason. Be sure to keep your receipt in a safe place at least until the check has cleared. The bank has sophisticated ways of tracking your check, to be able to tell whether the check has been cashed or not. Databases can be searched for the check number, and, if it is not found, this tells the bank that the check has not yet cleared. Simply present your receipt at the bank for an update about whether your check has been cashed by the payee.  If the check never reaches its destination for any reason, the bank can cancel the original check and resend payment. Check with the payee periodically in addition to the bank to see if the check has reached its destination. You can get proof of the check's having been cashed with a copy of the front and back of the check from the bank. A fee may be required for this service. In the event that the person who cashed the check is not the payee, the bank can get the money back and initiate criminal proceedings against the person who cashed the check illegally. Lots of fraud is committed via cashier's checks, so keep a close eye on your cashier's check to be sure it has reached its destination using the tracking tools the bank has at its disposal.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may be passionate about obtaining an advanced degree, starting a family, creating a successful business or writing a book. Begin visualizing these goals and talk to competent people about how you might achieve your aspirations. Ask yourself what really makes you happy and try to follow your happiness. It is a bad idea to follow a life trajectory just because someone tells you to. However, other people will be able to recognize your strengths in an unbiased way that you often cannot. Listen to what they say about your strengths and weaknesses. Try to tailor your goals to your strengths. For example, if you are good at drawing, consider careers in visual design. If you are good at writing, think about how you can leverage that in your own career. That doesn't necessarily mean that you should commit yourself to being a novelist or an artist, which can be difficult careers. But you should consider other careers that utilize these skills, like advertising, architecture, interior design, or law. For example, you might have an innovative business concept, but not enough capital to get it off the ground. It is impractical to get into sports or some professional careers past a certain age. Talk to people who have followed the route you are entertaining to determine if it is viable option for you.

SUMMARY:
Clarify your life goals. Recognize your strengths. Identify obstacles that may interfere with your goal.
