“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement. 

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”

Things I didn’t know

“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”

You guys have no idea how many students in my advanced fiction workshop didn’t know any of this when writing their stories.

I wonder how many people are afraid to pledge like…$1 a month on patreon out of fear of appearing cheap or something?

Because honestly…one thousand $1 patrons are a lot more secure, and stable to maintain than one hundred $10 patrons. 
So…if you’ve ever neglected to pledge to a patreon page because you can’t afford the “not cheap” teirs… I gotta reassure you that those $1 pledges are way more exciting to content creators than you might believe! 

This was me for a while! But recently due to our moving plans I’ve either had to cancel or make all of my pledges down to just $1 because I didn’t want to just STOP being their patrons. I wanted to show I’m still here and I’m still cheering them on despite my own financial short comings.

This is 100% legit, don’t be afraid to pledge even if it’s only one dollar to your favorite artist’s patreon! Trust me, they’re going to love you for it! ❤

My life would change forever and ever amen if everyone who followed me put a dollar on my patreon. Holy shit.

One day.

Seriously

Yo if people are afraid of putting a dollar on Patreon I swear there’s nothing to be afraid of. When you’re broke, scraping by and working your ass off literally anything is a dang blessing, you know
