I am able to gauge how much dialogue I have in each chapter because (for some odd reason) with the word processing program I use, quotation marks appear as odd symbols on the page here...so I use 'Ctrl + F' to find them all on the page and then 'Replace All' to change them to double apostrophes, which transfer here as quotes. (Yes, strange...I know.) This gives me a count of how many were replaced in that particular chapter...and chapter 4 of 'Cobra' had 56...the highest total (I think) for any chapter in any of my stories.
Beat my record - 61 in a new chapter that was virtually all dialogue. Sometimes it's the only way to convey what's going on. Other chapters require only no dialogue at all.
