I keep reading how a lot of writers are, as much as possible, eliminating dialogue tags altogether. That was making a lot of sense to me, but as I'm sitting down to write this morning I'm realizing I often use 'she said' or whatever for rhythm, for breaking things up, for a certain flow. I'm sure people are finding other ways to accomplish the same things, but it's making me realize there are many implications to stylistic changes.
