The Atomic Punk
Participant
@WMDBASSPLAYER: If there had been more bodies, the story would be different. Glad you liked my interpretation.
@prswirve: Monologue. In English, if you open a paragraph with double quotes, the same person is speaking in the following paragraphs until you close the quotes.
Also, when I write, if someone is speaking outside the scene (“off-camera”), I use italics.
EXAMPLE
“Hello, it’s the Atomic Punk.
“I am still speaking in this paragraph.
“Now, I will give someone else a turn.“
“Meow, it’s Chloe-Cat.“
“It’s me, again, the Atomic Punk. Chloe, get off my keyboard!“
“Will you two shut up?!?“
