Auxiliary Chapter

Hi everyone, how are you?

In this chapter, I will explain how I organize the dialogues in the book, at least currently.

I hope this will make it easier for you to read the book.

Well, let's get started.

First of all, ( " ). I use " when a character is saying something out loud, I always start and end the sentence with them, and I usually indicate who is speaking before the " in the beginning, or after the " at the end of the sentence. (Mostly at the begging after some chapters.)

The same goes for, ( ' ), only instead of speaking, ' is used for thoughts.

Now about the flow of the conversation. Sometimes when a conversation is going on between two characters for more than three or four sentences in a row, I stop quoting who is speaking, and it becomes a matter of speech order, for example:

A said, "My name is A.", B said, "My name is B.", A said, "You have a very pretty name.", B said, "Thank you, my mom picked it out.", "That's cool, I don't know who picked mine out.", "I bet it was your mom too."

In this example, A spoke the sentence, "That's cool, I don't know who picked mine.", and B spoke the sentence, "I bet it was your mom too.", but I didn't quote that.

In this case, I stop quoting the names of the people who are speaking from the fifth sentence onwards, because in my opinion, a conversation has already been established. This is not something that will always happen, but sometimes I do it.

If there's more than three people talking, I'll almost always mention all of their names.

And that's it for now. If I think of anything else, or if you have any doubts while reading, feel free to comment and I will add it here as well.

Have a nice day, and thanks for giving my book a chance :)
