I forgot to say that in PM bc i momentarily forgot about his parents xD) I mean he never shows up past the Prologue because I have no clue how to shoehorn him in with the rest of my plot and the plot of pokemans. So at this point he's a short ended plot point that basically serves no purpose and never really shows up again.
I can't actually remember enough to know, heh XD:
Is it still up on Wattpad, or did you remove the whole thing? o,o

I removed the whole thing. Its not deleted but just in my unpublished works list. Though you can still find it here I've been too lazy to take it down everywhere :T

"You don't fight well with others," she said.
A quote out of context for the greater good. My creative writing teacher absolutely hates words like announced or cried or exclaimed as a substitute for said. His reasons are that the way the person should have said it should be evident by their actions before and after, the words they used, and the tone of the scene in general. I've personally taken it as a challenge in my writing and thought I'd share something that came up in conversation today >^.^<
To be honest.... I partially disagree and agree with your teacher. There can be a happy medium in my opinion. I agree with Song. Using said over and over does get repetitive and starts to sound a bit.... bad. But some people, like the writer for the Gregor the Overlander series, can use it well and go under the radar with using the word over and over.
I agree with your teacher in the aspect that it should be shown not told though.
