Novelistic Small Talk

Exciting dialogue is spoken by smart characters saying important things. Beware of small talk, especially greetings, partings, and politesse. Avoid banter unless it has a clear and significant purpose in the story and suits the mood of what is happening between the speaking characters.

Alice Orr, No More Rejections, 2004
