Do you think it is possible for a reader to follow your story of 80,000 + words simply by writing the whole story in the form a of dialogue between or among characters? I believe it would drive most readers to distraction. Try this: put your story in a drawer for a few weeks. Then take it out and read it. If you hear everything you wanted to say then you are on the right track. If you get confused, then try describing what you want the reader to feel.
