Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. 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.”

You wanna know whom I totally didn't expect?

HAROL

I totally imagined bro being a middle aged man with beard, wrinkles AND stuff.

BUT NO...

He's a TWINK.

I read the LCF manhwa upto chapter 24-ish (around when Cale met Taylor and Cage at Puzzle city) before reading the novel. So I already had an idea of what the Henituse fam, Choi Han, On, Hong, Ron, Beacrox, Bilose, Raon, Venion, Taylor, Cage, Hans, and Hilsman looked like. But from there on out, my headcanons of the characters' appearances were slightly different from how pansa-nim chose to portray them (this is not to say I don't agree with pansa-nim's artistic choices on the character designs).

Rosalyn - when she was first mentioned, I imagined her as a typical princess with blonde hair and blue eyes. Then she showed up (in the novel) and turns out she's a redhead.

Witira - I did not expect that eyebrow slit. But more or less the same.

Paseton - same. The eyebrow slit was unexpected. I also thought he'd have short hair like Choi Han. Also expected him to be more frail and dainty looking. Boyish. Not as manly as in the manhwa.

Archie - Expected short hair.

Clopeh - even shorter hair cuz he's supposed to be a knight. Forgot that fantasy knights don't have a problem fighting with luscious long hair.

Tasha - I thought she'd have a bob, not a pixie cut. Love the pixie tho.

Hannah - expected her to have bangs.

Litana - did not expect her to have bangs.

Toonka - expected an unkempt beard.

Pendrick - expected him to be twinkier.

Alberu - expected him to be less twinkier.

Lock, Amiru, Zed Crossman weren't too far off the mark.

This gives me Cale with the Indestructible Shield in the eyes of others vibes.

“How the hell did you block that with a shield?!” They asked, somehow confused at the concept of what a shield is supposed to do.
