How do we handle pauses in a dialogue? Let's say that character A speaks and then after a pause character A speaks again. How should we separate the two moments, should we write two lines of dialogues or should we cut the two lines of dialogues with a brief description? For example: > "Was the computer software hacked?" > > **"No, it was a bug caused by legacy software. Any other question?"** > > **"No? Ok, see you on Thursday."** > > "Bye" Bolded parts represent lines spoken by the same person.
