@aspace2write: What are your thoughts on dialogue tags? Love ‘em, hate ‘em, wish we could do without ‘em? #writingcommunity #authortok #howtowriteabook
As with everything, balance is always great, so I mix using them for dialogue that could be said by anyone, I string a few unmarked dialogue lines for back and forth, and I also throw in actions to signal speaker

I write in French and instead a plain dialog tag I add detail (tone, expression, movement, etc.)

I tend to simply include the characters name between two characters in conversation as a subtle reminder. Not to eliminate tags but just to reduce them.
