What do you have?

Does anyone else go through a manuscript when finished and remove the extra space from the end of the paragraph because you think it shouldn't be there and is the vestigial remains of what might have been a previuously attached sentence before it became the end of a paragraph?

It's a public holiday and I'm allowed to have chips for breakfast. Mum said I could.

Can someone explain to me why dialogue is being punctuated like this?
To me, IT'S WRONG.

Am I just old and out of touch? Why is this happening? Where's my cardigan? Why are there people on my lawn? Can I begin yelling at the clouds yet?

@static I'm 5 years plus change to 55 :)

2023-08-30

Not going to lie but I was a little disappointed to discover that I cannot get my Seniors Card until I am 60. I thought it was 55. It probably was 55 and then they changed it. I have to wait a decade to get it (God willing I make it that far).
