I use the characters themselves to convey this: their literal voices (loud, low, etc.), their personalities (reserved, goofy, style of humor, etc.), their body language, & this last one especially—the dynamic of the interaction between characters; e.g., how A & B say & hear vs B & D. I have a keen sense of how my people look, sound, & move. Inflection isn't necessarily easy but it flows directly from this.

Something must have been off with my connection the past few days--I thought everybody hated my question--but it turned out I just couldn't see the replies. Hope I'm not too late now that I see them!

In my subtext class, we talk about inflection--how meaning changes based on _how_ words are said. This seems pretty obvious & I think about how we do it in real life & how actors do it. But then there's a moment of--wait!--how do we make inflection felt in writing?

So: Just describing it, of course. Emphasis through rhythm & punctuation choices. Gesture. What else?

How do you play with inflection in your dialogue?
