Quotation question

[_Lynn_]

As the new boss of the Editor's Forum, I'd like to make a few changes in here.

First: Christmas isn't over until some time around March, when the last needle in the tree turns brown and falls off. Falling off while green doesn't count.

Second: Though shalt kiss under the mistletoe.

Third: Cookies left for Santa must be mildly chewy. All submissions completely crispy will be rejected for editing.

Fourth: Everyone gets to celebrate Christmas and everyone gets at least one day off for it, though not necessarily at the same time. Santa can't find people's houses if the electric company doesn't keep the decorative lights on.

Fifth: Turn off your portable heaters before turning on your toaster ovens or you'l pop the circuit breaker. If that happens, you risk losing power to your computer, and you as likely as not didn't save your last revision, so there goes eight hours of typing.

Half an iced ayyy.

Uh huh

I hope you have the autosave feature turned on. Or at least that your document recovery works. If you need a document recovery tool, I have an excellent freeware one. Anyone interested can PM me with an email address and I will shoot it over email to them.

Say you have one character speaking continuously for a long time, and you need to start a new paragraph to continue that persons dialogue.

Do you put quotation marks at the begining and end of EACH paragraph in their dialogue?

Thanks.

Yes you do - but only if you are writing in Spanish!

Prior to about 1750 quotation marks were put at the beinning and end of every line of dialogue.

Internationally there is variation in the rules regarding quotation marks largely because American style manuals follow typesetters rules whilst other countries particularly british follow a grammatical base.

****These comments are better read if you have a solid sens of humour and don't take yourself too seriously.****​

Some of you would like it too much. You've rejoiced too quickly! I'm not dead and definitely not giving up my Mod "job".

Being sick and not being a chatterbox ( like some I won't even deign to name) doesn't mean I'm out of here.

I prefer quality over quantity and most people I've talked to prefer it that way too.

It's easy to have 14 millions posts/day; it, once again, doesn't mean that "your" verbiage is quality.

So anyway, I'm here to stay even though I'm not talking peoples' ears off.

I was here, now I'm not, please continue to talk behind my back.

This thread's still here?

After publicly shaming myself early on, I was hoping it would die a quick and humble death!

please.

nothing dies a quick and humble death around here. Most threads gasp for life like Paul Reuben in the original Buffy movie

How will you adding yet another post to it help it die?

Don't think I didn't have that thought! But then I decided it didn't matter, it was going to live without me anyway ....
