Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

Working on a drawing with my demon au luffy and buggy for late Halloween

vanoss: moo, I just wanted to let you know that you are the best person I have ever met. I would do anything for you if you asked it. I would jump over the moon for you, would you go out with me?

moo: vanoss where are your pants

vanoss: you’re pretty dumb

nogla: thank you

vanoss: why are you thanking me? i just insulted you.

nogla: all i heard was “you’re pretty”. i’m focusing on the positives in life

Ok no but fr all I imagine is just different goofy and cute interactions between maybell (not talking about the ones from my au writings, not yet at least) and demon buggy because I just think their dynamic is an interesting one

Mermaid brainrot is gone now it's just ideas and scenarios of maybell meeting @actuallycassidyiambusy demon buggy

I need to draw more maybell I love this woman so much and I miss drawing woman I don't like drawing dudes

Don't know if I posted her here or not but whatever I love her so it don't matter :3

vanoss: I'm a reverse necromancer. panda: Isn't that just killing people? vanoss: Ah, technicality.

panda: brian is being ...
