A word of advice from someone who took lots and lots of writing classes:
“Said” is not a dirty word. When I was in high school, I had a teacher who told us never to use the word “said” in our writing. Because it’s bland. Because it’s repetitive. But what came of it was pages upon pages of student writing that used:
“He whispered.”
“He shouted.”
Okay not bad, so what’s the problem?
“He proclaimed.”
“He debated.”
“He condescended.”
“He lamented.”
They kind of start to sound cheap … fake … like you just slapped any old word in there. These are great, descriptive words, but not really effective for dialogue tags because they make you sound just a bit pretentious, especially if the rest of your writing isn’t that flowery.
I was also taught that your dialogue should speak for itself (watch out for that CLEVER WRITING PUN). Don’t tell me with the tag that a character is reprimanding! Let his or her words - short, staccato, angry words - tell me. Or, describe the body’s movements - a pointing finger, a stamp of the foot, a slight slam of the kitchen cupboard, a quick and harried tucking of the hair behind one ear - instead!
Repeating “said” over and over is no good. Repeating any word over and over is no good. But there’s more to good writing than just a thesaurus. That said, don’t get me wrong - I am not reblogging this just to lecture, I’m reblogging this because it’s wicked helpful and I intend to use it! These are wonderful words, all of them.
The short of it is -“said” is not a bad word. Neither are those words up there.

My mom is yelling at my brother and I overheard this.
| Mom: | GO TO YOUR ROOM |
| Brother: | that's not fair |
| Mom: | DO AS I SAY. |
| Brother: | You never send Lizzie to her room when she's in trouble!! |
| Mom: | Lizzie never leaves her room. If she were in trouble I'd make her sit in the living room or go outside or talk to human beings. |
| Me: | I CAN HEAR YOU. |
