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.”

YALL THIS DUDE HAS LESBIAN BIRDS I REPEAT, THE DUDE I LIKE HAS LESBIAN BIRDS!!!

His birds (doves) are lesbians. Dove A has been with him for a while. Her girlfriend is a little recent (dove B). And apparently they take turns laying in their nest w/ the eggs (don't ask me where the eggs came from im just as confused).

My Bible teacher in 12th grade would talk about people "chose to be sinful" to "live sinful lives" whereas I've always seen it as "We hurt people, and when they leave we call them sinful because there's no way we will take accountability for their pain". Therefore Christianity becomes a toxic relationship between others instead of what it was meant to be; a relationship between you and God.

I really hate how criticisms of religion by ex-members are dismissed as, oh, you had a bad experience with religion. Therefore you're traumatized/embittered to it, so your criticisms don't "count." But criticism from outside the religion doesn't "count," either, because oh, you just don't understand, you haven't lived it, you don't have the right perspective. But criticism from active members doesn't "count" either, because they're just heretics who aren't believing or practicing it right.

It's just a way to avoid taking accountability for the harm they're causing. But it bothers me, especially, ESPECIALLY when the concerns of ex-members are dismissed. Because these are the people you failed! These are the people who fell through the cracks! These are the people who wanted to belong, who know the community inside and out, who encountered the abuse or hypocrisy or whatever flaws there are in your community first hand. If you really cared about accountability and making your community safe for everyone, they should be the first people you'd be lining up to talk to!

Working in a workplace where 70% of your coworkers are gay after being a sheltered Christian kid the last majority of your life is probably one of the biggest culture shocks ever to exist
