May. Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 so, i submitted my very first entry to the neopian times. (with the help of the TDN guide. xD) though, i figured i would've gotten rejected, 'cause i couldn't find anyone to look over my work. :( now i'm trying to look over my work, again, but i can't seem to figure out what TNT meant in the neomail when they said: Please separate each character's spoken words into a new paragraph. o_O thanks for the help! ^_^ p.s: would anyone be willing to look over my entry after i edit it? please? :* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Cat Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 By that sentence, they mean when a character is starting to talk, then you should put it in a new paragraph. Example: "It's cold out," said Joe. "Not if you have a jacket!" replied Bob. Or, if you are doing a more descriptive paragraph, don't start dialogue in the middle of it. Example: It was cold out that day, and Joe was getting tired. "It's cold out," said Joe. "Not if you have a jacket!" replied Bob. They do not want you doing this: "It's cold out," said Joe. "Not if you have a jacket!" replied Bob. or It was cold out that day, and Joe was getting tired. "It's cold out," said Joe. "Not if you have a jacket!" replied Bob. Good luck getting into the neopian times! ^^ I'm not much of an editer, sorry :( If you were doing both of those, then I really don't know what else they could be talking about ;( Edit And sorry about going example crazy xD Wanted to make sure I would cover your problem, though.
