When Morning Bad But Warsaw Trams Smile Devilishly At You

Based on that scene from Scrubs...

heeeej Roduslavu znáte? Prodávaj tam skoro takhle skvělý věci! https://www.roduslava.cz/

(mám tam zálusk na několik věcí najednou)

(nope neplatí mě za reklamu)

Bola tu snaha o moderné oblečenie s ľudovými prvkami...

Jezdit v létě stanovat

a zbytek roku stagnovat

v nestabilní době,

diagnóza mladej člověk,

zůstávat povinně

ve dvojí rovině,

nebavit se o vině,

když ti večer ovíněn

padá do postele,

ale ráno nezastele,

hledat vyrušení

od každodenní

lži, že společnej život je fajn,

z rádia nechat hrát Mein

Herz Brennt a ztrácet se v němčině,

sedět mu na klíně

a vědět přesně, co myslí, když říká „mein Schatz, bitte,“

v tom samým bytě,

kterým včera provedl jinou holku,

poslouchat moderní úpravy folku,

dokazovat si tak kulturní cítění

a ve skříni kostění

skeletoni visí,

lebky jako krysí

skrýše, co čas nikdy neporuší,

zavést doma jednodušší

estetiku

bez skeptiků,

sípat „budu zvracet“,

buzerace,

prohraný závody,

prstýnky hozený do vody

při zamítnutých žádostech o ruku,

rozchod svedenej na poruchu

hybnosti v oblasti citový motoriky

a na zhasnutý světlo zkoumaný bez optiky.

Ve volném čase si píšu básničky, tak si sem hodím nepatrné promo.

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 also 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.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

In August of 2021 I finished reading the mega-hit series: A Court of Thorns and Roses. I love these books, so of course I wanted to stay in Prythian a while longer. I designed a gown for each of the courts and did a little designer world building to go with them. This was a fun project, and I keep meaning to go back and create designs for the men and other key looks.

Bonus: My take on the Starfall gown

Does anyone have that pic of the three cats lined up and the black one has a really stupid look on its face

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four
