Me reading my first draft:
This is what the inside of my head looks like when I'm editing:
I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.

Partner: this is her process.

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.”herstoriesomg this is so helpfulwriting-prompt-s!!!!!!!#helpful#writing#writers on tumblr#writersnetwork#writers#writing community#writerscommunity#writers life#writers of tumblr#writer#write#tumblr writing community#punctuation20542,57482,376
