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.”

How do I describe a tired person? I got ‘dark circles under the eyes’ but it kind of stops there.

i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.

hey just a few points since this place is growing:

if you see bots account under my posts (or anyone's for that matter), do not interact. There's a few kinds like porn bots (most often), donation bots and rage bait bots, don't reply don't message them. BLOCK and report.

if you're new here to Tumblr, welcome! Change the default icon to literally anything else, put your age in your bio, something like "adult" or "minor" is enough if you're not comfortable in putting your age number. Also, reblog at least one or two things into your blog as a start, tumblr is meant to use to reblog things, you can read more why here.

A lot of blog here has mdni (minors do not interact), that's why the previous point is highly recommended. If you interact with a blank account you're very likely going to get block by the author.

"I followed some blogs, but why am I seeing posts that are a few days ago and not the newest thing?" change what you want to see on your feed in the settings, read more here.

The tumblr faq site has some cool tips to read.

Want to see mature content? you can enable “Show mature content” in your account settings, but this is only available on the web and android app.

Use tags! AND USE THEM APPROPRIATELY! If your post shows 2 characters, then tag those characters, you can learn how to tag by seeing other artist/blog's posts and use similar ones. Do not tag a "popular" tag for the sake of getting higher engagement, you do that and you might get blocked by others.

You can also make your own tags so you can easily find back your posts on your blog (example, I use "gummmyart" for all my art content, it also serves as a filter for others if they're just here for doodles")

Want to find back something you made but it's way too long ago? You can try to find it through "View Archive" which catalogues the things you reblogged and made, as long as you remember which tag you used and the month you'll be able to find it back, most of the time (sometimes they might not show up...idk why tho)

Fun fact! If you're on mobile, long press the heart icon :3

Use the "read more"/"keep reading" if you have a long post! It's the last icon after the poll icon whenever you make a new post. This make sure when someone reblog your post, they don't have to scroll like 4 minutes to go to another post xD You can adjust where to put the "read more" options by clicking on the left of the line with the 4 dots icon.

awow. awow. awow. bup bup bup bup bup
