[stylist] Block quotes

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Eve,

Block quotes are used when quoting a source that's longer than a couple
of sentences. A block quote is it' own paragraph and each side is
indented. Block quotes are used more in academic and scholarly writing
than creative writing, though it certainly can be used.

There are some great user-friendly writing style guide books available
in accessible formats. A great one is by Strunk and White called the
Elements of Stylewhich I refer to often. You can find it on BARD.

Shaun, Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed.   Donna, ;) What I never
learned
was how to write. I never took any writing or poetry classes. I was a
visual artist (mostly painting and charcoal) and then finally got my
degree in social work. I have always written, but never learned how to
do things correctly; like punctuation and all the 'how to's'. I also
never learned about poetry; reading or writing, so I have a lot of
catching up to do now. Actually, if it wasn't for this computer, I would
be totally illiterate now. I don't know Braille very well either. I
started learning it and loved it, but due to conditions I had no control
over, my education stopped. I love learning how to write poetry and such
and love that you guys share your knowledge. Thank you all. Blessed Be.
Eve
