Living through genocide in this day and age is so deeply weird. I cried on the train today while listening to Halsey because I casually decided to go on Twitter and first thing I saw there was the photos of the bodies they found in Izyum. I go on Tumblr and I reblog every post about it in between photos of gorgeous actresses. I go on Twitter and I laugh at memes while thinking about the woman from my hometown the Russians killed and then dumped her body in the central street and no one dared to get her for hours, I`m thinking about the blue and yellow bracelet, I`m thinking about Bucha, I`m trying to imagine just how many it is - 80k dead in Mariupol, I`m thinking about how am I gonna keep living with a hole in my heart, and then I go back to liking pretty pictures online. 

THERE IS A PREQUEL, Y’ALL

Nice!

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.”

Happy New 2018 Year!

Happy 2018, all! Delighted to bring out a new print - @davidmackkabuki watercolored @neilhimself’s words for the new year. (I will donate to @CBLDF & to @GaimanFND as well as a tiger rescue or two) http://www.neverwear.net

i think that at this point. at THIS point of Things. you can pretty safely assume that almost no one is Doing Well, so instead of being a real shitlord about tiny problems, maybe instead go out of your way to be kinder and more patient to everyone around you.

or at least fucking fake it.

or at least just be quiet.

Loving the idea of earth cryptids/folklore monsters being real only the humans have no idea until after first contact.
