welcome!

So I just finished posting the last of the previous volley of drabbles so I decided to come up with a new prompt list. It’s mostly a hodge-podge of stuff from my own brain or inspired by songs or different shows and stuff but there are some from other prompt lists so, if anyone wants me to give credit, drop me a message and I’ll be sure to do so.

“If you had asked me to stay, I would’ve.”

“You’re too good for this world.”

“Could you be happy, here, with me?”

“How long do we have?”

“Do you think we’re bad people?”

“How did we become this?”

“I can hardly stand myself.”

“Go to hell.”

“I know it doesn’t seem like it, but I’m going to take care of you.”

“There was a time before all of this.”

“No one will ever believe us.”

“Don’t come near me or I swear I’ll kill you.”

“My hobby is making fun of you when you talk.”

“I used to do a lot of things.”

“It doesn’t matter. You’ve moved on and I have to be okay with that.”

“Do you wish things had happened differently?”

“Don’t you dare look him in the eye.”

“I’ll be here as long as it takes.”

“We were never meant to fight on our own.”

“Something’s clearly wrong.”

“There’s nothing I can do anymore.”

“This is going to hurt.”

“I don’t need to be the hero tonight.”

“Am I ever going to see you again?”

“We always have a choice.”

“You’re holding back.”

“I don’t want to feel like this tomorrow.”

“Is that a threat?”

“If you don’t like this world then change it.”

“Are you kidding me? We’re not fine!”

“You may be an idiot, but you’re my idiot.”

“Keep your eyes on me.”

“You can lie to yourself but don’t lie to me.”

“I wish I couldn’t feel a damn thing.”

“If you make one more stupid pun, I will literally stab you.”

“I wasn’t going to mention it.”

“I tried my best to not feel anything for you. Guess what? I failed.”

“I’m here for you.”

“What are you so happy about?”

“That’s not what I meant and you know it!”

“You’re putting words in my mouth!”

“We have to stick together.”

“We’ll get through this. I promise.”

“Don’t leave me behind.”

“What are you looking at?”

“How did you find me?”

“Who did this to you?”

“I don’t want to be alone right now.”

“I have to tell you something.”

“I need more time.”

“You deserve better than me.”

“This isn’t fair!”

“If you kill them, you’d better kill me too, because otherwise I’m going to kill you.”

“Please don’t shut me out.”

“You are my best friend in the whole world, okay?”

“Don’t you dare die on me!”

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

“You’re out of your damn mind.”

“No one can hurt me like you can.”

“You are my sunshine.”

“This is all my fault.”

“Please, don’t cry.”

“Maybe I can’t fix you but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to try.”

“You should see this.”

“You make me feel invincible.”

“I’ll keep you safe.”

“Don’t look at me like that.”

“Let’s do something crazy.”

“We are not going to steal someone’s dog.”

“Do you trust me?”

“You don’t get to pick and choose. You’re stuck with me.”

“You know I’m gonna win, right?”

“Don’t underestimate what a person can do to protect those they care about.”

“I didn’t mean what I said.”

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

She leaned forward until her lips brushed his ear.  “Why don’t you leave that till tomorrow and come with me now.”

His eyes drifted away, hazy with memory, to the flickering lamp on the mantel.  “Time was when our greetings didn’t include pulling weapons on each other.”

“I’ve got a surprise for you.”  She tapped a pen coyly against her lips.  “But you’re not going to like it very much.”

One trick I learned in a self-editing course (editor Angela James’ “Before You Hit Send”, which I cannot recommend highly enough), is when I find myself using (and overusing) the construction like so (taken from my current WIP):

“Great! It’s an easy fix, just needed to track down the problem in the first place,” he said, leaning against the bulkhead, wiping the grease from his hands with a rag.

can very very easily become:

“Great! It’s an easy fix, just needed to track down the problem in the first place.” He leaned against the bulkhead, wiping the grease from his hands with a rag.

Streamlined, clear, and uses what PA demonstrated before. If you’re using “he said, doing action”, just cut “he said” cause it’s unnecessary most of the time. Sometimes I’ll leave it just for variety or because I prefer the rhythm of it in a particular line, but most of the time, it goes.

But seriously, SERIOUSLY IT CANNOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH, use the words in the original post here sparingly. SO SPARINGLY. If you can express how the character says what they’re saying in literally any other way, you’re probably better off doing so. And honestly, most of the time, you don’t need to use your dialogue attribution to tell us how the character is feeling, when you can use the actions and narration around the dialogue to show us.
