In other words, is it correct to write something like this: > "Oh," he laughed. "Sorry, I'm not sure what's with me today." (Every time I see something like this, I think: "How is this peson laughing an talking at the same time? But other times seems OK for me. Strange.) as an shorter version of this? > "Oh," he said with a laugh. "Sorry, I'm not sure what's with me today." > > "Oh," he said laughing. "Sorry, I'm not sure what's with me today." Other example: > "OK," she said with a sigh. "Just this time." > > "OK," she said, sighing. "Just this time." > > "OK," she sighed. "Just this time." Because I've noticed by dialogues are cluttering with "withs" all of the sudden.
