My "Quoting" Guide

" *** " - Means normal speech. Whisper, mutter, and other related speech also fall into this category.

' *** ' - Means it is only spoken in mind, it's basically a thought. I also use it to highlight a word or phrase outside a quoted sentence.

" ** ' *** ' ** " - I use this if I want to highlight a word or phrase inside a quoted sentence. Vice versa if the outside quote is a thought.

"" *** "" - Means it is spoken by multiple people.

"{ *** }" - Means it is spoken in a different language that is not being understood by a certain person or multiple people.

*****

Veronica is an exception for she does speak, but only in Ashenn's mind. So her speech have " *** " quotes instead of

' *** '.
