EFFECTIVE PUNCTUATION

#WRITER"STIP


EFFECTIVE PUNCTUATION
 
Proper form.

If you want to emphasis in dialogue or narration use italics. Use boldface except for headings. Now if you want to show very loud volume, capitalize all the letters. Look at the difference in this one word.

"Bird."

"BIRD." 

See the difference?

#WRITER'STIPS


If you would like to add to the reader's emotional experience, don't underestimate the power of texture. The way a person, place, or thing feels against the skin has a powerful reaction.


Luna's cool, wet, nose touched my cheek. Her tiny tongue lightly kissed me; this was Luna's way of saying, "I love you."

Atmosphere for writing

#writing tips


                                                         Choose your friends wisely


Writers as a group, tend to spend a lot of time alone; it is the nature of the business. A good friend of mine has moved away and I feel the emptiness, she says the same. We have a bond that is positive and creative. Psychologists say if you spend time with someone and the emotions they express are in sync with yours, this can elevate your mood, which helps spark creativity. The same can happen when you are around those who zap your energy. Remember to spend time with loving, positive, uplifting people, this recharges your battery, and spend less time with friends that drain and don't support your efforts. You will write better and smile more.
