They make your characters alive by giving them voice, opinions, and thoughts. They put forth multiple perspectives of multiple characters and add layers to your narrative. They also come as a breather in your pages-long narrative filled with description and story. Dialogues pose the power to push your plot ahead with only a few words. Well-written and carefully curated dialogues add dynamics to your idea and give substance to your characters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But you cannot just write dialogues.
