I said, she said, he asked?
So as I am sitting working on a dialog between a group of characters I am wondering... seems like the experts that I have read say for the most part stick with "siad, asked, etc" and avoid colorful alternatives like "he asked with baited breath" or "she siad in great anger."
Their argument is that if the reader can't tell by the dialog and context, you need to fixt that not add adjectives. It is not a "OMG NEVER EVER DO THAT" but a "try to avoid it, and use sparingly" type advice.
What do you all think?
