“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement. 

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”

Things I didn’t know

“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”

You guys have no idea how many students in my advanced fiction workshop didn’t know any of this when writing their stories.

creepiest thing you’ve ever found in an attic, go!

Once I was helping my neighbour clean out his attic and he left to go answer the phone. Then I found a box full of body parts. There were human hands, rabbit feet, frog legs, bird wings and I even found a jar of eyeballs. I couldn’t tell whether they were real or not. I mean the eyeballs were kinda squishy so???

When I was a child, I was hanging out at my friends house. We got bored and decided to look in his attic for something to mess around with. We found a big ass knife, multiple photos of him and his family(some taken while they were asleep and some taken discretely during the day), and several old cans of food. The proverbial nail in the coffin was the words”not worth the effort” scratched into the wall. Keep in mind they hadn’t been up there since Christmas. Nobody knows when he showed up and made himself at home or when he up and left.

GOOD NIGHT TUMBLR
