You can write without any dialogue, or almost entirely dialogue. Zero dialogue would be plausible if you write about a character acting alone, or from the POV of an animal or machine that has no capability of speech (like a dog, in Stephen King's Cujo, or a robotic space probe). I would say if you find it boring to write, then write as far as you can before you feel like one of your characters **_must_** say something to another character. Adopt a doctrine of **_necessity._**
