God should always be written in a capital letter even if you don't believe in God.
Quote by private4mylover
It makes for easier reading if a full-stop (period) is followed by two spaces.

RUE - Resist the Urge to Explain.
Trust that your reader will get it, and trust yourself to get the point across without explaining it. This particularly applies to verbs and adverbs in dialogue mechanics. If well written your dialogue should be self explanatory.
"You're kidding me!" she exclaimed, excitedly.... (you don't say!)
It's the equivalent of saying, "did you get it?" after you tell a joke.

I have to admit, I didn't understand that one at all...are you suggesting someone would actually put "(you don't say!)" in a line of their story?
Hmmm...and btw, your one line writing tip was more than one line...
I have no writing tips myself, because frankly I have no idea what I'm doing...

Imagine the physicality of what you're describing.... People only have two hands. Act out the action so you know it's feasible....
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

- sometimes it helps if you are doing what you're writing about an example - if your character is putting a record on a turntable, if you have some vinyl, go thru the motions quickly - pull the record from the shelf, slip it out of it's cover, handle it, put it on the record player, then sit down and write it out.

So you act out all your sex scenes before writing them out? Cool...
Btw, where do you get one of those cages??? Amazon.com was out of stock last I checked...

Don't use too much overemphasis, at all. There's absolutely no need, whatsoever.
Now, well now I'm just confused. I understand capitals is yelling and emoticons are well... unnecessary at the best of times. But overemphasis? my life was founded on this stuff. lol

Don't be confused, if one thing's clear, it is that your life certainly wasn't founded on IRONY CLARA.. (oops, pardon the caps)
