How to Write Dialogue: Nailing Punctution The goal of this post is to help you understand exactly how to format basic spoken dialogue within your creative writing.

This is for all the creative writers out there who want to know how to write grammatically correct dialogue!

It's easier than you think, and I provide examples for how to punctuate.

And if you have questions, I'm happy to help to the best of my ability! ❤️

My HUMAN artist finished the character art for one of my main characters!
This is Corvin mere seconds before saving the female main character's life.
I call it "The Towel Scene" 🤭

A baby squirrel climbed on my leg this morning. It's mama wasn't coming back, so I got this one and a sibling to the wildlife hospital.
They said little squirrels come to humans when they need help.
Precious little baby.

I think this applies to all media and genres. If you don't absorb plenty of the thing you want to make, you won't know the territory and will end up reinventing the wheel. If you ONLY absorb that thing, you end up regurgitating what's gone before.

I had one preorder for my upcoming release. I don't push them very hard, so I was quite pleased.

Then I upped all my ebooks from 2.99 to 3.99, including Retribution.

Preorder canceled. 💔

FYI - if you preorder, you should always get it at the lowest price it was offered.

I should have waited. 😭

Who's with me?

Who else enjoys tracking what you read every day?

I'll admit - I'm obsessed!

Yesssss! I'm usually reading at least three books at a time. 🤣🤣

Writing is political.

That's why you'll find diversity and inclusion, LGBTQIA+ rep, neurodiversity, disability rep, and more in my books.
Because I believe we all deserve to be seen and valued.

I also think it's sad that this even need to be announced, but, I wanted it made CLEAR.

Media mail has strict requirements, but as long as you meet them, you *should* be able to ship it out of your local post office.
I personally use PirateShip(it's free) and bought a label printer on sale so I can package books at my home.

I followed everyone! Thanks for curating this!

🤣🤣🤣 You got this!!

My bones agree. *Solidarity*

Mind if I join you? I mean, it's the Bailey's flavored creamer, but that counts.

Are you an indie author? Hop on this! There are 30ish slots left!

Thank you so much!! ❤️

I'll follow in bursts so the algo doesn't think I'm a bot. 😁

I'm an indie author! The third book of my romantasy trilogy is coming out in April!

I just added both of your books to my TBR. They look interesting!! ❤️❤️

I'm so excited about this curated list of books with a trans main character. Take a look and see if you wanna make your TBR longer!

💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️ After a couple days on here, I have to share your sentiment. The openness and acceptance is beautiful. And it's so refreshing seeing so many people from all identities and ethnicities on here. Bluesky is quickly becoming my favorite platform. 🧡💛💚🩵💜🤎🖤

I love StoryGraph! The breakdowns are really interesting and I like that reviews have questions that help readers quickly see if they'd like it or not.
