Odds and Ends about Writing

Dialogue Part 1

"These are words," she said, "and these are more words."

"Oh really," the Evil Queen said and waved her hand. "Let me take these words right out of your mouth." 

And then the bad dialogue stopped. 

To remember: If there is a "she said" or "character x said", the dialogue should end with a comma, and the next work after the dialogue (i.e. the "she" or character name), should not be capitalised. If the dialogue continues after the "so-and-so said/shouted/insert-swifty-of-your-choice" with a comma, the next bit of dialogue shouldn't be capitalised either. 

Of course, if there's a full stop, the next word has to start with a Capital Letter. 

I can't believe it took me so long to learn this.
