Example: > "I'm not saying you don't know what you are talking about," he said, then looked at her and shrugged his shoulders. "But I don't know what you are talking about." > > "I'm not saying you don't know what you are talking about." He looked at her and shrugged his shoulders. "But I don't know what you are talking about." If I'm not mistaken, both examples are describing the same thing. But I always find my self wondering whether I should use dialogue tags or action tags. Another example: > He looked to the side and blushed. "I probably love you." > > He looked to the side, blushed and said, "I probably love you." > > "I probably love you." He looked to the side and blushed. > > "I probably love you," he said, after looking to the side and blushing. > > "I probably love you," he said, looking to the side and blushing. Should I stick with some of them, or all of them are useful in different situations?
