Chief Master Guru: The wise elders taught that resorting to violence will never change a person on the inside. In conflict, you must rip your opponent a new asshole in his consciousness. Soon, his mind will be open to all truth. All hole, no ass.

Young Xavier: But Master, you can't punch someone with your mind.

Chief Master Guru: [gives Xavier a board] Hold this board.

(Xavier holds the board, but a phantom fist emerges from the Guru's forehead and punches Xavier in the face. We cut back to present-day Xavier, who has a bloody nose.)

Xavier: Idiot. He totally missed the board.

Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. That's the only way to become what you were meant to be.

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.”

Orchid's Jar Prank

Otis: Orchid, we need to know what month and day it is. Orchid: Sure. Can you help me open this jar first? [hands Otis a strange-looking jar, which he opens, causing glitter to shoot out of the jar and cover most of his suit] BURN! [skips off, singing to herself] Olympia: At least it didn't get all over your face! Orchid: [comes back with another jar] Which reminds me, can you help me open this other jar? Otis: Orchid, please leave. Orchid: Okay, whatever. [leaves]

I've been working on my personal fakemon region on and off and wanted to show off this line that I just finished! Gnourly and Trollicious are based off of gnomes, trolls, icing, and various kinds of cake. Gnourly evolves into Trollicious depending on its icing color. These guys were super fun to design and I'm very happy with their concept!
