I'm looking to expand my vocabulary for writing, feel free to put any words you find interesting for describing things or words that are good for describing dialogue 😁
Examples:
Winced
Rippled
Proclaimed
Tattered
Exclaimed
ECT.
#Word pile!
hexed quail
Typically for introducing dialogue, you should stick to 'said'. It becomes invisible to the reader. Using a bunch of variations tends to distract from the story itself.
An alternate plan is to use action in your dialogue tags:
"What do you mean?" Bill asked.
"You know what I mean." Susan just about slammed the book down. "I don't need to tell you."
