Story Writing Style

I decided to integrate something so it'll be easier for myself to write my stories. A sort of signature style of my own when writing, and while experimenting different kinds of writing styles are okay, I feel this will ground my way of writing for a while; with that this is my way of writing my stories for the coming future:

Dialogue – Short conversations include characters’ name
Long conversations don’t include characters’ name
Characters’ speaking for a longer time or extend their sentences, have their name in between sentences or written as a paragraph.

(ex. “This is a short conversation being spoken,” said Example One.
“Indeed it is,” said Example Two.

“A long conversation would be this.”
“Absolutely.”
“Righty-o!”
“May we continue please?”

“Finally, when a character speaks for a longer durations,” said Example Three, continuing. “It would look similar to this...”

“Or something like this where one character speaks so long, it is written as a paragraph; a character may speak with several sentences when talking and may only do something like this when they are explaining something, giving a speech, or to throw information in a smooth but not rushed way. When a character is describing a past event, sometimes it would change the dialogue as the narrator does with the surroundings and bold it – this happens, depending on whether it must be explained in a story-like matter or it was a past event that would take to long if written normally – which makes it short and doesn’t extend the story unnecessary,” said Example Four, giving an example.)

Thoughts – Using italics shows a character speaking through their thoughts, meaning other characters can’t hear them – unless they can read minds or a 4^th wall-breaking moment – and show whether a character is thinking of something.

Using bold with italics means a character is describing or explaining something that has happened before and is reciting another character’s sentence or piece of dialogue.

(ex. I am currently thinking right now.)

“This here is someone else speaking, and what I heard them say through my own perspective.”

Character Narration – When a character narrates instead of the narrator or the voice out of nowhere does, that part of the story is bold to showing that a character is talking about something that happened instead of through dialogue, to make it shorter and more descriptive.

(ex. Right now I’m describing a character who’s describing something that’s happened before or something they witnessed/experienced.)

Brackets – Whenever some words have brackets at the ends of them, it means the narrator or a 4^th wall-breaking entity is speaking. (In other words; ME!)

Other – The underlined part and the help of italics around chapter eight of IHAP was for the robotic voice coming from the weapon Vallan used.

Originally for IHAP; characters’ dialogue, thoughts, and self-narration would be colored to show who was speaking or thinking, but changed it to only be for the thoughts and self-narration of characters.

Another thing for my newest story that focuses on Yibble-Bibble and possible new stories/chapters, the italics and bold idea will not only be used when a character is narrating another character piece of dialogue, but will also be used to separate different locations/perspectives.

(ex. Location, Specific Part of Location; What is currently happening/occurring, or; Time/Date, Location, Specific Part of Location; What is currently happening/occuring.)

With that this is my style of writing future stories/chapters; I won’t update this to past projects as that will take too long, but this will make things easier and won’t make things confusing for myself to write different styles for every story – unless I am experimenting a new style, then that’s different. You can use this style if you like if its to your interest, and with that I hope this may help you understand about a little on writing stories.
