Sara Nović has a post on Ploughshares about writing believable dialogue. Writing dialogue is the one thing I do really well, but she cautions that overwriting is one of the biggest obstacles facing novice writers:
"Leaving space for the reader to think is part of what makes fiction so great. As writers, we have to let go of the insecurities that make us overwrite, lest we miss out on all the sensuality contained in the drip of a leaky faucet."
