A question : is it appropriate to use apostrophe when making something akin to quotation marks (but it's not to quote someone words) on a sentence? I was wondering if using apostrophe is the correct one or not since I've been using it instead of quotation marks.
Choose one you think is the right one :
“M’kay,” he nodded against Liam’s “arm pillow”.
“M’kay,” he nodded against Liam’s 'arm pillow'.
dun wanna make new thread since its just a simple question
Just finished drawing my buffer for the time I'll be away from home while having lower back pain AND slight food poisoning. I'm mostly fine now, but my pain probably will be visible in those pages... XD
I choose the second, simply because it distinguishes which is the direct speech and which is not and I thought it is the correct one.Also that can be used in direct speech, "Like 'this' direct, yo."
(WTF am I talking, sorry)
I hope somebody would finish the proposal or me I'm too lazy and stupid. I abandon my work, my novel, my art; I don't feel passionate in everything I do lately.
I have the worst memory. I forget to do stuff, I forget important deadlines, and more than everything, I forget what I learn.But this evening, I was playing Skyrim for the first time since very long, and I needed a console code I haven't used for even longer (5 years?) and I remember it with zero problems. This is so frustrsting...
nope- I'm done. I'm tired my child is sick and he had a 20 min meltdown and is still on edge because he can't go to school AND he will miss his class extending valentines...
I want to be done and just call in a sub for my class tomorrow and friday.... but kids are using sharp things in the cooking lab.
I wish somebody could do my thesis instead of me
Making a romance novel. This is a first. Hope it goes well --'
I use a water cooler jug as a money jar, actually.
Maybe some rest could help?
I wanted to share this... I made a candy bouquet for the hubby and a car one for my son because I wanted to (I got all crafty!)
So my husband, worried I was feeling left out, derided to Build A Bouquet...
(The main character there is called Build-a. Punny! I don't deserve my husband- he's too awesome)
"I'm not interested in your story, but we are both newcomers so I will read it. I can give you (like/comment/vote) daily, you can also give mine the same. Ohh I think this will be trade by barter work, lol. "
Yes, thank you very much for heartfelt and thorough review. I checked your story and its reviews only to find similarly themed or phrased reviews. Yes, that's exactly how review works.
(PS: I'm not talking about this site)
Oof.... at that point I'd ignore them. It's a bit annoying when they do that. I don't want people who don't like the story hearing it, I want people that enjoy it doing that!
Uh yeah, but I find it hard to just ignore or saying a "No." I'm just a newbie so who am I Guess I'm easily guilt-tripped.
I'll see if that person will genuinely do what they said first, before taking a move.
Heh heh. The boys are back ٩(๑òωó๑)۶
Half of the stuff which I say makes no sense. Oh well. I've stopped making sense a long time ago.
And I've just got into Violent Femmes. Apparently, I have a thing for guys who can't sing.
Me seeing an activity on my dashboard but no interaction. Fell kinda dissapointed. UwU
(I'm just being whiny don't mind me)
One of my short stories made it to the final round of consideration on Podcastle, I waited on tenterhooks for two months...And I got my rejection email this morning I try not to let it get me down, since the fact that I got to the final round rather than receiving an immediate rejection means that I'm improving, but damn, it stung this time. So close, but still not good enough.47 rejections so far, one published short story. Two others that came close, but didn't quite make it. I just gotta internalize the Little Engine The Could, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
