I am learning information I couldn't find before. I even learn answers for questions that I didn't know I had. I am very thankful for your articles.
Do I understand you right if I changed 'Stop it' she shouted from the top of her lungs to 'Stop it' she said. Her voice was louder then normal and the vibration of anger was heard by everybody in the room.?
Personally, I'd do something a little different for a shouted exclamation.
"Stop it!" is enough, the exclamation mark tells the reader it's shouted, rather than spoken. The rest of the punctuation in your story helps to tell the tale too.
Thats so much more simple, thank you. Punctuation is for me a very hard concept to grasp so every little hint is helpful.
