Ku-Ku-Ku!!!

anonymous  asked:

I always have problems with paragraph breaks. Is there such thing as too many paragraph breaks? Also, I have a feeling only fanfictions or internet fics have paragraphs when a new character speaks. Do printed books also do that? Because I didn’t see that I think.

While there is some degree of personal style to paragraph construction, there are still very specific rules about when you should start a new paragraph.

You should start a new paragraph when…

1. A different person is speaking

So, what you’re seeing in fan-fiction is actually correct. Every time a different character speaks, it should begin a new paragraph. Even if they only say a single word or a few words, it will appear on the line alone. Here’s an example from The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater:

The conversation is between Maura and “the man,” with Persephone chiming in at the end. 

Paragraph 1 (Maura) “It’s when…” Paragraph 2 (the man) “Is it more…” Paragraph 3 (Maura) “Not if you…” Paragraph 4 (the man) “Fine…” Paragraph 5 (Maura) gestured for… (and later) “Persephone, would you…” Paragraph 6 (Persephone) “Oh dear…”

2. Someone else does something

You should also start a new paragraph when someone else starts to do something. Look at this example from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins:

Paragraph 1 - Gale tosses a berry toward Katniss. Paragraph 2 - Katniss catches the berry in her mouth and eats it. Paragraph 3 - Gale pulls out his knife as Katniss watches.

3. When a character first appears in a scene

When a character first appears in a scene, whether they arrive during the scene or were already there but haven’t been pointed out yet, you should start a new paragraph. Take a look at this scene from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer:

Paragraph 1 - Bella describes the inside of Edward’s house upon arrival. Paragraph 2 - Bella first notices Edward’s parents waiting to greet her.

4. The scene shifts when something new happens

Sometimes something occurs in a scene that changes the mood or the trajectory of a scene. It could be your character starting to feel sick at a party because they’re coming down with the flu. It could be flashing lights because the police just arrived to break up the party. Or maybe the music suddenly stops because the party host’s parents are standing in the front doorway looking aghast. Here’s an example from The Beholder by Anna Bright:

When the music quiets and the doors swing open, a new paragraph begins. Now, in this case a character also speaks. Personally, I might have started another new paragraph for that, but that’s a style choice, like I mentioned earlier.

5. When the “camera” moves

If you imagine everything happening in the novel as being “on screen,” any time something happens that would require “the camera” to pan over to something else or be moved to a new position, that’s a good time to start a new paragraph. 

6. The time or place changes

Any time you skip ahead in time (for example, “Later that day…” or “The following week…”) or the setting changes (such as, “Meanwhile, two doors down, Angie was being grounded…” or “When we got to gym class…”

7. The subject changes or a new idea is introduced

If your protagonist narrator is expounding upon the layout of their village, and then they begin to talk about their dystopian government, that should happen in a new paragraph. That way, you don’t get something like, “My friend Peeta waved as I passed the bakery and made my way toward the market. The Capitol had been ruling Panem for centuries, and it was not a forgiving government.” See how that’s confusing? She’s talking about bakeries and markets, then makes this non sequitur about the government.

Name: [Redacted]

Nicknames: I use a different one on every platform, so I have many. Here just call me Alchem or Wolfie (nobody uses the second, which is understandable but boo)

Height: 5'9" (175cm)

Orientation: Queer

Ethnicity: White; a mix of a bunch of different European countries that I have a hard time keeping track of

Favorite Fruit: Ripe mangoes are nature's greatest gift to man

Favorite Season: Winter. Short daylight hours, cold weather, and sometimes rain is when I thrive.

Favorite Book Series: I usually just read stand-alone books as opposed to books series, tbh

Favorite Fictional Characters: I have. So many. Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Rowena MacLeod, Dean Winchester, Castiel, early seasons Sam Winchester, Hatsune Miku, Gumi, Tenna, Noelle Holiday, and honestly some of my OCs that I love way too much. That's not even really a complete list

A Fictional Character I’d Like As A Sibling: I've never thought about it, but I guess Sam Winchester? He'd definitely be a very solid, supportive brother to have

Favorite Flower: Sunflowers, all the way. They're so bright and happy ^_^ They're also my go-to to give to someone who needs a little bit of happiness in their day

Favorite Scent: I have a lot, especially bc I'm decently into perfumes and the like. I guess I'll go with my favorite perfume, which smells like a musty, old haunted house

Favorite Color: Rainbow!

Favorite Band/Artist: I'll be totally honest, I generally don't have much loyalty to any particular band or artist. I kind of just find songs I like and listen to them

Coffee, Tea, or Hot Cocoa: Hot cocoa

Number of Blankets You Sleep With: Two - a top sheet and a fluffy duvet cover. In the winter the duvet cover is over a 20lb weighted blanket
