Everyone was taking shots of her and capturing her. But no camera could capture and reveal her beauty in the same way that my eyes did.

Uri sketch! (Header art for "The Book of Life:")
Read the full chapter on Wattpad!^^
Here's a tease from where the art is from lol vv
Act 4, scene 4: The Book of Life: LUTE: You aren’t supposed to be here.  URIEL: [Play it cool!] It’s fine, why wouldn’t I be able to go to the library? LUTE: Are you here for the book or not? I don’t have time for your shit right now, kid.  URIEL: How’d you know?  LUTE: Hahah!-Did you think me sending Lilith back to Hell, immediately after Adam’s death, was for shiggles? No–your bratty baby sister fucked up the plan for the Universe with her little Hotel shtick. So now, I’m fast-tracking the ending. By now, the guard rotation has found our little friend, I’m sure Sera will know pretty soon after that… How long do you really think you have until you are the one Sera warns the children of becoming? URIEL: What’s that supposed to mean? How’d she interfere with the plan? She’s just trying to make more room in Hell!  LUTE: Sure, yeah, but it doesn’t matter. The second that little one-eyed freak killed Adam, the book must’ve changed. He wasn’t supposed to die!  URIEL: [Beat] Lute–No one wanted Adam to go out like he did.  LUTE: Shut up–You have no idea about what he wanted.  URIEL: I  know he didn’t want to die down there! And I know you don’t want him to have died, either. [LUTE looks as if she may cry. URIEL and LUTE sit together on the large staircase of the Library.] Look, I know you miss him, Lute. But–Charlie didn’t want that to happen, she’s just trying to right a wrong, y’know? And Adam, well–he can be a huge jackass, but, that’s what I’ll miss about him. He was funny, but also like–the fucking worst. LUTE: Mmm, yeah. I know what you mean. [They sit in silence as the Library’s shelves creak, a slight breeze drifts through the marble walls.] URIEL: So why didn’t you do it?  LUTE: Do what?  URIEL: What Sera told you, why didn’t you take me as a prisoner? That’s why you were here, we both know The Exorcists aren’t the most well-read. LUTE: Mm, I don’t know. But whatever the reason, I’m sure it will get me into trouble.  URIEL: Ditto.  LUTE: [Beat.] So what’s your excuse?  URIEL: Pardon?  LUTE: Why’re you still up here? You got your story, isn’t it time for you to go?  URIEL: Ah, you’re right. [He stands, cracking his knuckles, and flapping his wings awake.] Showtime.  LUTE: See you on the other side, Uri.  [URIEL salutes LUTE. Now, with personal Grimore in hand, he soars back out of the Library. LUTE watches on as URIEL flies into the distance, eventually slowing, allowing his momentum to carry him back down into the parent’s fiery ring of Hell.]

Being a writer is just 97% googling words to make sure they mean exactly what you always assumed they meant.

Writing Tips
Punctuating Dialogue
➸ “This is a sentence.”
➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.
➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”
➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”
➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”
➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”
➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.
“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.
“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”
➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”
➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”
However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!
➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.
If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)
➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“
“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.
➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.
➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”
➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.
“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”
➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.
“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

Writer’s culture is agonizing for weeks over how to describe the most mundane detail and then coming up with the best sentence you’ve ever written while brushing your teeth
