- Stilted Dialogue: Characters speaking in perfect paragraphs without interruptions, slang, or subtext.
- White Room Syndrome: Dialogue occurring in a void without interaction with the setting/props.
- "As You Know, Bob": Characters explaining things to each other that they both already know.
- Summary Mode: Summarizing conversation or action instead of dramatizing it (e.g. "They discussed the plan" vs writing the dialogue).
CRITERIA:
1. VOICE & TONE: Is the narrative voice distinct, or generic? Does it match the genre?
2. SHOW, DON'T TELL: Are emotions demonstrated through action/viscera, or summarized?
3. PACING: Does the scene drag? Is there conflict in every beat?
4. CHARACTER AGENCY: Do characters make choices, or do things just happen to them?
1. ENGAGEMENT & TENSION: Does the story grip the reader from the first line? Is there conflict or tension in every scene?
2. SCENE EXECUTION: Is the middle of the chapter fully fleshed out? Does it avoid "sagging" or summarizing key moments?
3. VOICE & TONE: Is the narrative voice distinct? Does it match the genre?
4. SENSORY IMMERSION: Does the text engage all five senses (smell, sound, touch, etc.)?
5. SHOW, DON'T TELL: Are emotions shown through physical reactions and subtext?
6. CHARACTER AGENCY: Do characters drive the plot through active choices?
7. PACING: Does the chapter feel rushed? Does the ending land with impact, or does it cut off too abruptly?
Rate on a scale of 1-10. (Be harsh. 10 is Pulitzer level. 6 is average. Anything below 8 needs work).
