I've tried searching for the answer here and online, but I'm not really getting it.
How do you write pace, like hesitation, in dialogue? For instance, Bob speaks with measured words, often pausing to consider his next words.
BOB
If I had to name my favorite Beatle-- It'd be John. When you think about it-- He was the soul of that band.
Bob hesitates between Beatle/It'd and then again between it/He. Do you uses dashes (--) ellipsis (...) and if not, how do you approach this to replicate the pace of said character?
