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.”

DANGER DAYS MCR FANART WIP @)@%!!!!!!

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

Random Life Things and Stuff #2

was listening to danger days. now have the urge to do the following in that exact order:

-Cut my hair and dye it bright purple and neon green or some shit

-Poorly cut the sleeves off of my MCR shirts

-Cover the world in paint bombs

-Set the paint on fire, so now the world is on fire

-raid a bunch of McDonalds' (is there a correct plural form?) for the Happy Meal toys

-Hijack a helicopter, and rain down all the Happy Meal toys while blasting Danger Days

-Let the aliens discover our dear planet, which is now on fire and covered in Happy Meal toys

-Let them shoot me up with a bunch of cool looking lasers from their UFOs

-Die in one huge fucking laser blast, as my reign of chaos goes out in glory

Thank you for this information that nobody needed and have a wonderful day/night/whatever time it is

i'm a petekey truther not bc i think for sure 100% they actually banged but bc the concept makes me rabbid. as in a bunch of silly emo teenage girls had their own "summer of likes" their own real crushing fleeting loves and they saw these two boy banders and decided to pour themselves into what could have been. they decided to obsess over it bc if these idols of theirs had a gross complex relationship and lived to tell the tale maybe they could too. like who gaf if they actually had an epic insane mutual summer romance or if they just got rly intoxicated once and flopped around and sort of banged and pete decided to make it his whole personality or if it realisticly never happened and pete wentz is just really good at saying weird borderline poetic gay shit on livejournal .. DOESN’T MATTER. bc it's Real for some fangirl going thru it and that's fucking beautiful to me. fandom and community and projecting yourself onto the world around you and things that ended too soon

I've had this on repeat for hours. Hours. Somebody help me. It doesn't get annoying. It doesn't get repetitive. It just feels raw. I love this so much omg.
