said he, said she…unless you’re ee cummings…

So I finally joined a book club here in my neck of the woods.  Nobody knows I’m an author.  It’s one of the reasons I like my anonynmity and my pictures with books over my face and my pen name…I decide who gets to know, etc. Okay, there’s one person who might know–if she remembers. But I dunno.

But that’s not the point of this discussion.

The book…and the DIALOGUE TAGS…man.

We’re going to pretend we’re talking aloud for this point of today’s blog post.  Read along *out loud* with me. You’ll get the point.

This is especially helpful if you’re a writer…newbies, beware! We probably all do this starting out.
