[stylist] CNF question- How to write hmm hmm good

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Anita,

If you really want to write it as dialogue, it would just be, "Hmm, hmm
good." However, perhaps consider showing an action to indicate the joy
of the taste instead of writing it as dialogue. Nothing wrong with this
per say, but sometimes it's better to capture something like this by
"showing" rather than "telling," though dialogue would be okay. Maybe
something like, The saccharine scent of the cake filled her nostrils,
and she could taste the sugar-goodness in her mouth.
