Punctuating Dialogue by MissLunaRose, literature

Literature

Punctuating Dialogue

For non-native English speakers and young readers: If you hover over a blue word, you'll see its definition. Punctuating dialogue can be surprisingly difficult, even for people whose first language is English. It's one of the things that you see all the time in books, but you pay little attention to, and all your English teachers assume that you already know it. Sure, if you read a lot, you pick up the basics, but even then it can be difficult to unconsciously absorb all the rules. (Until 2012, I was making heinous mistakes with commas vs. periods. I'm still weeding out errors from my novel.) Anyhow, for the sake of my fellow spirits who be

PE: ''Said'' and Effective Dialogue Tags

Jan 22, 2014

I have horrifying news, everyone: I'm teaming up with Project Educate for Prose Week, so you inquisitive readers are about to fall victim to me and my terrible sense of humor. Today I'll be torturing you with a discourse on a subject of constant debate in the writing world: the word said. It's a simple word that encourages authors to write descriptively, but it's far from the only good choice when it comes to writing fluid dialogue. I'm going to be using the word dialogue tag often, so if you're unfamiliar with the word or just need a refresher, here's the definition: Dialogue Tag—a phrase used in the same paragraph as a piece of dial

A Guide to Writing Dialogue

What is dialogue, exactly? The definition from Merriam-Webster’s dictionary was several lines long, so I shall summarize it in a short sentence for the sake of the readers; it’s the writing that illustrates conversations between two or more characters in a story. We read and hear it all around us, but creating it in your own work can be a challenge. However, if you find dialogue an obstacle in your writing, then don’t push the panic button. In this tutorial, you’ll find by analyzing what dialogue can do and how to use it, you can turn your greatest fear into your greatest ally in your story. What dialogue is Like I&#

Emotions in Writing and How to Portray Them

Jul 26, 2014

Lit Basics Week Wow, yes, emotions; they stir us, they sometimes rule us. For your written world to come alive this critical element must be rightly imparted into your work. Your character’s emotional state is something that needs to be grasped in meaningful ways in order for a reader to begin caring about what is happening to them. Likewise, poets who write verses that do not express an emotional range will have lines that fall flat and lifeless on their intended readers. Emotional Range Emotions are not one dimensional – each has a broad range of expression. For example, anger can be experienced anywhere from a mild annoyance

If you are a victim...

If you have ever faked a smile Slit your wrist Cried yourself to sleep Wished yourself gone Chased a dream (and lost it) Ended up in a nightmare… Broken down Turned away from your “friends” Been bullied Been stereotyped Tortured yourself over an error Hated yourself… Wished, Dreamed, Lost, Died inside, Feared. If you are a victim… Remember to stay strong. Because you’re only a survivor If you NEVER Give Up.

I am truly, utterly speechless. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12720219 How much more are the Japanese going to suffer? I feel so f***ing helpless, I'm so close yet so far. It's like the Sichuan and Haiti disasters again. I can't do anything to help, and that angers me. I know to donate money but I want to do more than that. I can't stand the fact that many people are dying, I hate it. I despise it. I don't know if I want to cry or throw a tantrum. It's heartbreaking to watch this happen, seeing the videos, the pictures reading the news. Why can't I be able to help? Why am I so helpless? Why couldn't these disasters not happen
