I don't know where to post this so I decided here would be a nice place. Anyway, I've seen this a couple of times and I don't want to 'bash' anyone. However, when reading someones writing it get's a -bit- confusing when they don't use these three little guys:
'.'
','
"-"
The Period and the comma I trust we all know how to use. However, a lot of people aren't used to writing in dialogue, so instead of writing ''she said she didn't like peaches' You can use your quotation marks which go around anything your character is saying! So that sentence would turn into:
Mell frowned "I don't like peaches." See how much easier that was to read, especially when the character is doing actions too then it gets really confusing!
