Further Progress

While it looks like the next Somber Dreams chapter will be coming out before the Diamond Dogs chapter, I did figure out where my problem was in writing the latter, so *that* much is good. Of course, it also means I need to start the story over entirely, but, eh.

My Favorite Things!

Carriage returns, regular indentation
Lines for new speakers, and good punctuation
Em-dash and en-dash and proper spacing
These are a few of my favorite things

Solid plot hooks and characterization
Dialogue, dialect, accentuation
Semicolons and the rhythm they bring
These are a few of my favorite things

Superscript, underlines, proper notation
Italics and boldface, well-placed hyphenation
A convincing speaker, a cadence that sings
These are a few of my favorite things

When commas splice
When OCs cling
When the canon’s bad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so sad
