dayanwintery replied to your post:I have an intense, seething hatred for the word...
I almost never denote any of my dialogue (unless itβs something like describing body language) and people always complain :βI
I have a feeling that's because people feel like YOU NEED TO HAVE WORDS BECAUSE SOMEONE SAID SO A LONG TIME AGO AND NOTHING CAN EVER EVER EVER CHANGE BECAUSE CHANGE IS SCARY AND WRONG STATUS QUO STATUS QUO STATUS QUO MEANINGLESS DRIVEL ON WHAT IS AND ISN'T CORRECT IN CREATIVE FIEEEELDS
also fuck 'em. I denote with body language when I do, too. "said" is so meaningless and used ad nauseum all the tiiiiime oh god
