Re: how much dialogue do you thnik?

It depends on what you write, how you write and how you like to write, so there's really no universal recipe on how much dialogue you should use. Personally, I love using dialog, partly because I'm preety good at it, but mostly because I believe that it brings the story "to life", it imposes a more dinamic pace, it gives consistency to characters, not to mention that it helps to transform info dumps into a much more pleasant form. Of course, this doesn't mean that you should use dialog in excess, and forget about description or naration, but you should find a balance between this elements according to your style, and the type of story you are telling.
