The secret layer inside great dialogue

Author's Notes
Amy Stewart Bell, Author
Great dialogue is rarely about what the characters are actually saying.
It's about what they're avoiding.
Subtext is the emotional current running beneath a conversation.
Example:
Two characters discussing the weather when what they're really talking about is betrayal.
Readers feel that tension even when it isn't spoken.
Subtext makes scenes feel alive.
