It was because my work started being going into audio and using the "said" dialogue tag over and over becomes extremely noticeable when someone is speaking it. The dividing line for this is between Redshirts and Lock In. It was my choice and entirely intentional and I think makes for better books.
Now I'm curious. Mr. @scalzi.com was it a personal or editorial decision to rely less on dialog tags as you moved on to later work?

I compare Old Man's War to The Dispatcher and it is almost night and day comparatively speaking. I definitely prefer it, as well.

Hope you're awesome.
