My Brother Got This Huge Dog That He Named Taquito While We Were In Florida For Our Summer Vacation.

My brother got this huge dog that he named Taquito while we were in florida for our summer vacation. He keeps leaking this white stuff out of a hole in his back, and it keeps getting all over our furniture. Taquito is becoming, for lack of a better word, very saggy, losing mass. His fur is just sliding all over his body. What can we do to stop this?

My parents watched a Mr. Beast video that was in their recommended, and every. Day. Since. They've gone everybody they meet that they like mr. Beast.

And then I tell them the only good thing about Mr Beast is Karl Jacobs.

They're very confused.

My mom: hey, could you get the screw up off the floor?

Me:

Me: I'm not on the floor though.

"TNT Duo slept together at least once," I say into the mic at the overflowing DSMP panel at Vidcon.

The crowd boos. Wilbur Soot denies this claim, quoting psycho-competitiveness. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

"They're right," the voice says. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 5th row stands: Alex Quackity himself.

I am very stupid.

I have, in a 24 hour period, done three things. I have signed up for a volunteer shift that happened in june, laid on my dog pee stained carpet floor for 3 hours reading fanfics, listening to legal woes on loop, and eating gummie bears.

Oh i also stabbed myself in the breast with a steak knife while doing the dishes.

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 ask 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.”
