I like a little of both...dialogue and introspection. Really good authors for me...introspect (?) in new ways. They tell me something I may not have thought of before about, oh, the whole BatP fiasco or new thoughts on ToGoM. And I need my dialogue, too. I just finished reading When Friends Become Lovers today (for the 2000th time), and some of the lines just crack me up!

OH I need dialogue. I just don't like it when it is just that or most of it.

I just found two more stories I love!! This is making it soo hard to decide.

I prefer writing and reading dialogues.

Some introspection is great so, you can get an idea about how the characters are feeling, but we all already know how they react in certain situations or how they think in some others...

Personally, as a writer, I have a major difficult creating intro... Scenes. I tend to be very objective.

I like dialog; it's usually the first part of a scene that comes to me. When it's clicking, I can hear those voices in my head wink

About introspection, I was thinking... I was taught in school that drama is all about conflict -- man vs. nature, man vs. man, or man vs. self. And introspection can be a scene of internal conflict, where the character thrashes out an issue and decides to change something. It's not always that, of course, but quite often it is.

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."
