Now. Expression. Imagine the sentences as if you are talking to someone. If your hyper, you'd put an exclamation mark. If it's a statement or command, you'd put a- yeah yeah we all learned that in school. I'm not here to tell you stuff I know you already know.

You already know the punctuation stuff. Yeah yeah. But what about the word that comes after the end quote? Or right before? The words that tell you who is saying those words? Because let's be real, if a story went like this, we'd all be confused.

"Hey, Noah!"

"Hi, Lillian!"

"How have things been?"

"Great, you?"

"Sa-"

"Guys!"

"What's up?"

"My mom said she would let me start my own channel!"

"That's great!"

"Congrats!"

Okay. See where's the problem. Who's all talking? Yes, we know who up until this mystery third person comes in. I mean, what's there gender? Male? Female? Non-Binary? Gender Fluid? Uni-sex?

Okay, let's say we did add names. Let's call the mystery person Alex, who is Gender Fluid but currently a male. Now let's add the names.

"Hey, Noah!" Lillian said.

"Hi, Lillian!" Noah replied.

"How have things been?" Lillian asked.

"Great, you?" Noah replied.

"Sa-" Lillian started.

"Guys!" Alex exclaimed.

"What's up?" Lillian asked.

"My mom said she would let me start my own channel!" Alex exclaimed.

"That's great!" Lillian said.

"Congrats!" Noah replied.

Okay, that's better. But now we have another problem. The actions are repetitive. That'll make the story boring if you just switch in-between just a few actions.
