So, I'm learning this craft known as writing like a magpie lining a nest. I see bright shinies and grab them. My bright shiny this day is the concept of 'dialogue cues'. The lovely Christina Boyd, a fabulous editor for Meryton Press mentioned this to me after reading some of my latest work in progress. I had to Google it b/c I wanted to know what it was so I could, um, fix my dialogue cue. LOL! I came across this blog post that was short and sweet and clear as crystal (rather unlike my intro to it, here).
