Yeh I'm not much of a writer, I had to look up dialogue tags because I couldn't remember what they were and couldn't infer from context XD (my pathetic excuse is that I'm really, really tired today XD) And now I know how to use an emdash! Not that I am likely to ever, it's just another one I could never work out from context and didn't know the specific name of it to look up. Yay thanks XD
If you write than you are a writer. That's all I have to say on that matter. Your level of experience is just a moment in time. Even the most accomplished writer still has much to learn. All the time.
The example I made above is the last likely place to use an em dash but since it's a valid option I added it anyway. If you'd like to learn more, please feel free to hop into The Writers' Block. We love
fresh meat--uhm... new people there. ;-)I was actually thinking about it,as getting my scripts alphabeted by someone who actually knows what they're doing probably wouldn't hurt but at the same time I figure I'm going to get roasted either way :S
I shall continue thinking about it, there's a chance I may drop in at some point, but also probably won't because I'm a right coward XD
We only bite when given consent. ;-)
