Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

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.”

Friendly reminder that you should

Write that fic

Draw your OC

Redesign that blorbo

Plan that comic how you want

Create the content you want to see

Be cringe

Be free

The only thing that matters is you having fun! Not what others think!

Everyone wanting to know what these two relationship really is....? You can't convince me that's not a proud father right there. ❤️

Yesss this 💯 I love talking with my readers and hearing about their theories and just sharing my process. It’s so fun and it’s something I often look forward to. ^^

This doesn’t just apply to my own fic but with others as well. I want all the details. I wanna listen to how you passionately thought up the ideas for your stories and each chapter . I want to fangirl with you about how you brought plot points together, the romance, the relationship building, the suspense.

You can call me greedy for details, but I love discussing fics with fellow authors and readers alike.💖🫶🏻

someone: hey I noticed this thing you did in your writing!

me, kicking my feet up flirtatiously: oh??? do you want to hear my thoughts on why I did that? do you want a play-by-play of the language choices in every related sentence? do you want an exhaustive breakdown of The Themes???

I drew this a while ago but I don’t think I ever posted it.

This is how I see my OC/ Reader from my main fic Ambivalence, Page. (Please feel free to imagine her how you like)

I hope to start posting more art of her and Al soon. ^^

Door behind them opens and somebody walks in*

Reader's thoughts: anybody but Alastor. Anybody but Alastor. Anybody-

Alastor: my my! What impressive flexibility!

Readers thoughts: dammit!

Reader: yeah just trying out yoga. Charlie says physical exercise is good for stress management

Alastor: I'm sure she's right. Say are you gonna hold that position all day?

Alastor: Oh okay then. I'll leave you to it

Reader: wait!

Alastor: yes?

Alastor bursts into laughter*

Alastor wiping a tear from his eye: you're right my dear it is not funny... it is absolutely hilarious

Reader: look can you please just help me?

Alastor: and why would I do that?

Reader: ....

Alastor snaps his fingers next thing you know he's in a chair sipping coffee*
