Aw... you guys liked my story... thank you... honestly🤗. It was a labour of love, this one.
And congrats to everyone else who wrote. We all learn something every time we write.
And now... having read this post, I have learned something new!!! So, offline, I always use proper dialogue construction. On Hive, I thought Markup was the preferred method and that is what I have used... I also use different-sized text to differentiate easily between characters in dialogue so that it's easy on the eye. Is that not an acceptable proper use of dialogue construction? Genuine question😊. Will avoid it if it is not Ink Well approved hehe. Finally, I did not know that I should be putting the dialogue tags inside the Markup with the dialogue. I thought the Markup was only for the actual dialogue. My mistake. We live, learn, and grow as a result, thankfully. You are all appreciated. Truly🙏🤗🙌
Good questions, @samsmith1971! We are trying to help our community members learn "the ropes" of fiction writing so that their writing abilities serve them wherever they publish. The skills any writer develops here should support them in pursuing professional publishing. That's why we have our catalog of fiction writing tips.
Not only that, but we want to be able to share the best stories with professional writing groups on social media to show the quality of writing on Hive and attract more writers. So it won't serve us to have a special Hive-specific way of doing things. It's far more important for us to help the community to build "real world" skills and to demonstrate that there is some professional-level writing happening here. Won't it be cool when writers who have never heard of Hive see that it's a great place to learn and grow, publish quality writing, and earn something along the way? I definitely think so!
Absolutely! Thank you, Jayna. I appreciate you and the entire Ink Well team 💗!LUV
