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.”

This is uphemis for "i love you." I think. Or she was hitting on ye?
Or is it "the moon is pretty tonight"
a girl at the grocery stopped me on my way inside and said "have you seen the moon tonight?" and the thing is I HAD seen the moon tonight as I was leaving my apartment and thought "wow what a pretty moon"
anyway I was delighted that a stranger saw the moon and saw me and thought "that bitch definitely wouldn't wanna miss this extra nice crescent moon we got going on tonight"
Let's go!!!
I know I should give her
Her space
But how am I supposed to rest
When my heart is trying its hardest
To break out of my ribcage
But I swear this oath today
From now on anything that comes for you
Will break against my flesh
I am always late
But not anymore
How dare I forget what I am for
No more
The wolf is dead
The wolf is dead
The wolf is back
Yes and yes
There were so many good moments but this one made me tear up unexpectedly
One day
I will wake up and not
Ache for you
But today is not that day
Me: writes heart felt lines as a way to cope with the pain of heart break that has never gone away even after 7 years. On a blog that no one knows about so my feelings don't get revealed.
Also me: Tiiiitssss
Me: like sexy coz plays cause it's something I want to adapt into my art style
Also me: hasn't drawn anything for 3 months
Me: Want to write and make posts about lesser known book series that I love
Also me: doesn't
You don't love her. If you did, you'd be with her
Yet you wither
Either wasting time,
Or doing so little
All the years that pass
Filled with moments
That would've should've could've
If only we weren't ourselves
Pathetic
I needed this. Thanks.
i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping
Just gonna leave it here of easy access.
I wish kinky sex ed wasn't so stigmatized even among left-leaning "sex positive" circles. Everyone's all "uwu I'm a sub I'll do anything you ask" okay mommy wants you to read The New Bottoming Book so you learn how to sub without hurting yourself since your sex ed up to this point is porn and your ex boyfriend Jared who liked to choke you incorrectly
Oh my heart.
You left him!!!!!
i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.
so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
I'm here
i feel like im not meant to be alive in this world and any moment now everythings going to catch up to where it should be and ill blink out of existence like a phantom island removed as the maps are redrawn. am i right or am i right ladies? ladies? any ladies in the audience? any ladies out there tonight? any ladies out there? anyone out there? is anyone there? anyone
I wish someone would fight me for me.
I am loosing against myself
Someone help.

I wish I had never met you
Now you are so far away
I met you
I loved you
And now I live with this feeling
That something is missing
Something irreplaceable
I wish I never knew this feeling
I wish I had never loved you
I wish I had never met you
A button poetry inspired by the Norse mythology comic by @yeehawpim

When the Gods came to the Great wolf
Fenrir
He must have thought it just another day
Bright and grand
He must have thought it a game
These were the people who had raised him
And there was Tyr
his friend
They bind him He broke free
He must have rejoiced in his victory
Then the gods came again With different chains
Doubt would have taken hold But he must have ignored it
Bolstering his resolve in his strength thinking
He had nothing to fear
Since Tyr was there
But when the gods
Brought forth the cords
He must have sensed something amiss
This was no game
They wanted something from him
He must have recalled The fleeting hateful stares
But he also must have also remembered
How he played with Tyr
He would not let anything Happen to him
He must have cursed himself
For doubting his friend
For asking for Tyr's hand
But what is done is done he couldn’t go back
And now I sit and wonder
When the wolf couldn't break the cords
Did he pause?
Did Tyr know what would happen?
And offered his flesh regardless?
Or Maybe In guild for what was going to happen to his friend?
What he had caused?
There must have been A moment
When the great wolf pled
Hoping that he would be saved by his friend
Or maybe he wished for Tyr to pull back his hand?
And now I think
That when the wolf bit down
Maybe it wasn't from anger
Maybe it was from sorrow
His friend had made his choice
So maybe he bit
So the blood would hide his tears
Tyr was there
And he had betrayed him
I made myself sad today
a comic with some norse mythology
You walked up to me and covered my eyes from behind.
Years later your touch lingers still.
I don't know what to do
I am not starved for touch
I am starved for you

This is so good I love it. But the worst part of being an Artist. Is that I can draw this and better but if I had drawn this I would have hated it.
