Tough Questions for Writers and a few Answers

Okay Writer Gals,

You’re creating and composing and your brain glitches to a halt with the question:

What’s a way to indicate who’s talking without using “said” everytime? (And don’t use those “telling” adverbs: i.e. said angrily, happily, scornfully, stupidly, etc..ly”

Or…maybe you wonder…how do you say raspberry beer in German?

Or…what’s another word for honor?

Or…do you underline or italicize the names of pieces of scupture?

Here are some of my favorite links to answer those questions, because I’m sure you don’t want me calling you all in the middle of the night looking for answers.
