Well that's a good thing
.
There's another story I'm working on (that probably won't be posted here) where I was trying to aim for something like a prose version of Shakespere (dialouge that helps build the setting as opposed to detailed narration). But I think as it went on I lost the amount of dialouge that I was aiming for.
I've always tried to shy away from dialouge... I feel it's too direct, and it make stories lose any amount of mystery. Better for a character to find something out than to be told.
Well in a Shakesperian like story the character is supposed to tell the reader/audiance the conditions of their setting. The reason being that the plays Shakespere wrote were written for a limited to no amount amount of props and scenery because the group he wrote for couldn't afford much of it. I think it's one of the reasons why he's still popular because it leaves theaters and actors guilds room to improvise with their scenery.
If two characers were to meet on the street one would comment on how cold it is and the lateness of the hour.
