3 Important Things to Remember When Writing Dialogue:
1) Practice saying your dialogue to yourself over and over again. Edit your dialogue according to how you hear people speak out in public. Listen and observe a lot of speech to get a good idea of how it should sound and look on paper.
2) Your characters should not all sound like you when they are speaking. They should all have identifiable mannerisms during their dialogue. You should be able to know a lot about them just from the way they speak.
3) Good dialogue gives us the sense that we are eavesdropping. Good dialogue encompasses both what is said and what is not said.
