Must every piece of speech get its own paragraph? Every utterance by a different person needs a new paragraph. If it's all the same person, I believe it's perfectly fine to run it all in one paragraph. |

How do I round out a powerful character? Lois McMaster Bujold did a much better job with a dwarf hero than G.R.R. Martin could ever hope to achieve in his wildest dreams. Just saying. |

Finding words through meanings @xEnOn: English.SE is specifically about English language & usage: grammar, word choice, etymology, that sort of thing. Writers.SE is for issues faced by people who write for a living (in whatever language, though they do need to ask in English): plotting, publishing, proofreading, etc. |

Should you use two spaces after a period, or just a single one? Minor nitpick: in every version of Word I've ever met, the single- or double-space question has been a setting, i.e. users can select the rule that matches the conventions they need to follow. (And I think the default setting is "don't check".) So while there are certainly hypercorrection-bugaboos for which Word needs to take the blame (passive voice, that vs. which, etc.), double spacing after the period isn't one of them. |

Is there any point in learning to write in cursive? You don't seriously go around laboriously printing everything you write, do you? [she said, hopefully] |

Is Mac OSX Lion's Revision Control System useable by writers? Anything that involves a user seeing the innards of a script is, by definition, a techie solution. If you think it can be turned into a non-techie solution with just "a bit of polish", then you must be the type of programmer who sees nothing wrong with a settings page containing 12 checkboxes, 3 sets of radio buttons, 4 dropdowns, and 2 multi-selects. |

How to name the characters of your story? Just some comments from a reader's perspective: please, for the love of all that's holy, give your characters names that start with different letters. If one character is Alethea and another is Alexis, I don't care how different they are, I will confuse them in my mind. |
