    Just a little thing I want your opinions on, πŸ™‚

    Just then, his 11-year-old brother, Tim, came crashing out of the house.
    β€œThat sister of ours sure is something!” he said, slamming the door.

    Which one is better?

    • I sorta like the first one the best. I find that sometimes if your character is doing too much in one sentence, it sorta detracts from the rest of the sentence. (I’m not like a superb writing by any means, but just something I thought of as I read your bits of story above.) But both are good, so either one works fine! πŸ™‚

    • I think the first one is best. I think it’s more smooth if you put some action after what the character is saying. In my opinion, it runs better. 😁

    • I think the first one is smoother, but it slows things down. If you’re going for a chaotic feel, I think the second one is better.

    • Personally, I like the first one better because it seems to flow better, but either one would work fine πŸ™‚

      • Okay, thank you! I’ll prob go with that one since that’s the one everyone seems to like better!

    • Yup, your welcome! πŸ™‚
