Story writing help? 10 points best answer?

Actually, don't look for alternative words to "said". Dialogue tags should be invisible to the reader. When you use words like "cried" and "screamed" and stuff, they stick out and pull the reader out of the story. Who the character is, what the situation is, and what the character's body language is should be enough to tell the reader how the character would say what he said. And if it's not enough, try. And if you can't show the reader how the character said it without using a specific dialogue tag, use the specific dialogue tag.

As for smiles, why are your characters smiling so much? MAKE 'EM CRY.

Kidding.

I don't know that there are all different types of words for "smile". You can describe the smile, though. Like, a sly smile, a silly smile, a serious smile...

Good luck~
