@perfectfifths @daeus @ingridrd This is what grammarbook.com says. Exact quote:
Rule 2b. Do not capitalize quoted material that continues a sentence.
Example: Lamarr said that the case was “far from over” and that “we will win.” -

@daeus @dragon-snapper, yes, having no punctuation there looks right, but, not to question you or anything, Snapper, I think that the “Well” would be capitalised seeing as it’s the beginning of a sentence of dialogue for the character. I could be wrong, but there’s my two cents 😉 😛

Love it, @winter-rose ! Who knew “the story behind the sparkly” could be so entertaining? 😀 🙂
There’s not much to criticise, but here are three things I noticed:
“waved” should be changed to “wave.”
The spelling of “Brittney” is still inconsistent. Is it going to be “Brittney” or “Britney”?
Lastly, his mom’s advice at the end confused me.…[Read more]

@daeus I looked up in this super awesome grammar book I have… you are correct. YAYAYAY! I don’t think that the Well is capitalized, however.

@winter-rose Well, I’m going to go now. I was able to unfold a lot of layers of plot, so I am very happy. Good luck on your post!

Hi everyone,
I got a punctuation question for any punctuation geniuses. How do you punctuate dialogue that’s in the middle of a sentence without any direct attribution? I’ve always done not punctuation, but I’m not sure if that’s right. Here’s an example.
Mrs. Fletcher gave a touching “Well now…” when she saw him that sounded almost like a purr.

@aratrea
Again, the theme is pride. (I’m just going to use that one as the practice one, because posting all seven of them might take a long time… 😛 😀 )
Experiments in Living:
1. Pride’s okay, as long as it doesn’t spread or grow to arrogance
2. My pride is my identity
3. My pride is uncontrollable, so I won’t control it
4. My pride is bad,…[Read more] -
Snapper replied to the topic Homework for Video 3: Discovering & Deepening Theme in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 7 months ago
@aratrea Right, I think I have it this time.
Theme: Pride
FQ: What does pride do for or against a man?
1. Pride is simply a way to gain confidence
2. Pride won’t do anything as long as it doesn’t deprecate others
3. Pride will always destroy a man and those around him
4. Pride will grow to arrogance if left unchecked
5. Pride must be kept at bay…[Read more] -

Snapper replied to the topic How naming affects characterization in the forum Characters 9 years, 7 months ago
@graciegirl That’s a neat idea! I think I’ll make a list too! I happen to use ‘A’s A LOT as well, though in my more recent story it’s E. Hmm… Maybe for sci-fi the letter will be E and for fantasy the letter will be A…interesting.
Carlos, you monster! … Myeah, I think that Zlorom works better for that line. 😛
