Dialogue: When Silence is Golden

Writers tend to overuse dialogue. It can be a crutch. But it isn't always needed. Take for example two characters having an argument. You don't need one character to tell the other how mad they are. You can just let them show it in an expression. That will communicate the point and follow the path of: "show, don't tell".

Your characters are the actors in your story. So, let them act. Let them emote. It will make for a more powerful experience for the reader.
