How can you tell when someone is using the “Secret Conversations” feature in Messenger?
Only if you log into their messenger. When you can log in on your phone. Go to secret convo. Turn it on and then with the other device accept it. Once your on there. And u go to your device and under secret convo it says all the devices logged in. once all that’s done. Go to the other device. Turn secret convo OFF. Go back to your device and go to secret convo. Under that in devices or whatever you should only see your device. IF that other phone in secret convo turns on. At any point after u turn it OFF You see a extra device on your phone under devices in secret convo. Then u know it’s on.the only other thing is……logged into the other persons messenger on your phone. Touch the search bar. What ever bubble faces pop up first is the person that persons been talking to secretly or not I THINK. I’m half way through testing this. But I’m pretty sure. But u have to be logged into the other persons messenger.well hold up there might be another way to tell.you can’t send a secret convo to someone who’s not your friend. I don’t think. I’ve tried and it didn’t work.So, when u go to the person(a friend) u wanna secret convo too. I think once u hit send it will say it won’t work or it won’t let u type anything at all IF THAT OTHER PERSON HAS secret convo OFF. TEST all this before u do anything. One way of knowing is send a secret convo when your near them. Or grab their phone and see if it’s turned on.
How to write a split screen phone conversation in a screenplay?
At no time do you ever write "Splitscreen" into your slugline. That is an editing feature, that is left up to none other than the film editor. The BEST reference on this is "The Screenwriters Bible" by David Trottier, now in its fourth edition. So I will cover the basics. The idea is to not clog your script with directions. You want to focus on telling the story. INT. MACK'S GARAGE - DAY The phone dances on the hood of Mack's car, ringing. He answers. MACK Hello? EXT. CITY PARK - DAY Shelly strolls along the pond, talking into her phone. SHELLY Do you have the ransom? INTERCUT - MACK'S GARAGE/CITY PARK MACK I told you it would take a few days! SHELLY Then I guess you will never see your beloved Dan Marino limited edition jersey. Ever. Again. MACK No, no! You --- The line goes dead. This is the simplest way, and keeps you from having to write several sluglines. Or.... INT. MACK'S GARAGE INT. MACK'S GARAGE - DAY The phone dances on the hood of Mack's car, ringing. He answers. MACK (into phone) Hello?...I told you it would take a few days...You can't do that! No. NO!!!! You get the idea. Conserve the space. You'll be fine. Hello?
How to use the phrase 'So To Speak' correctly in both writing and conversation?
That's a hard one to explain. No, it's not at all sarcastic. It lets the person to whom you're speaking know that what you've just said is **an unusual way of saying it.** It can often be left out. Some examples: "My dog told me, so to speak, that she has to pee." Obviously, since dogs can't talk, my dog never "told" me anything of the kind. "New York City is an urban jungle, so to speak." NYC is obviously not a jungle, but the speaker chose to use a colorful phrase to say it. "My brother plays his guitar all day long. He'll be playing that guitar in his grave, so to speak." Again, any of those sentences make sense without "so to speak." I hope that helps a little!
How can I write a conversation between a male character and a female character who are meeting for a second time?
Convincing intimacy would be nice. This involves the typical phase of them being awkward and making bad jokes and letting their guards down and so forth, but it also involves the one thing that YA fiction and bad romances in general always leave out: maturity and active communication regarding the relationship itself and where its members want it to go.The details you’ve left in about characters meeting for a second time really aren’t relevant; you can do whatever you want with that depending on the specifics of your story.Just make sure your characters are mature enough to actually handle a relationship, instead of following the typical YA formula of “Hey, both of our lives kinda suck and we’re mildly similar people, let’s use complaining about that as a bonding crutch in place of legitimate intimacy and romantic compatibility”.
First person, second person or third person?
OK let's start with second. Very hard to keep up. And after a while it sounds pushy and silly. I only know of one writer who did it well and that was Rod Serling - of Twilight Zone (nothing to do with those horrible novels by SM) First person limits you. You can only comment on what the narrator can see or hear. You cannot collect thoughts from other characters. Basically it means your narrator is in virtually every scene of the book. Think of The Great Gatsby. Nothing could happen that Nick couldn't see or hear. Third person you can break down into two categories. Third person omniscient where the narrator literally knows everything about everybody. The downside there is that if you want any element of surprise, you have none. The narrator knows already. Doesn't work well with crime fiction, mysteries, etc. Then you have third person limited, where there is information that the narrator learns at the same time the reader does. This is the way to go with mysteries, crime fiction etc. Because you can have surprises, drop hints and clues etc. The last possibility is mixing it up. I am known to write in first person AND third person in the same book. Or sometimes two different third person perspectives. That way I can report on both the criminal and the investigator and kind of play cat and mouse with them. William Faulkner was a genuis at using multiple perspectives. In As I Lay Dying, he has 15 different narrators - including the deceased herself. Hope that helps. Pax-C
When having a professional email conversation, is it proper etiquette to start each email with "Hello" despite already saying it in the starting email?
As previously sated it depends a lot on the level of the discussion and always, the kind of person(ality) your're writing to.This a question we all have when we're dealing with a new interlocutor (internal or external stakeholder). What I use to do is to follow the standard business etiquette and little by little drooping a more informal word and checking if there's a return or openness on the way we interact. Its like testing the water.Like going from "Dear Mr X" to "Good morning Mr X" to "Hello Mr X, hope you're doing well", just as examples. the goodbye part can also be used as a test.Bottom line is to see how's the reaction from the other side, to see if we can move from a formal relation to a more informal.In doubt, one can also wait for signs from the other side to follow their steps.As it seems the other part already said "hello" and that's a kite open and friendly greeting, you can indeed use it one more time (in this case I would dare to say "hello again", otherwise "Hi X".Never ever had any issues following this trend or approachCheers
Writing a position paper on A Christmas Carol?
Just read the first ''stave'' and the conversation between Marley and Scrooge. How Scrooge can avoid the fate of Marley. What did Marley wish he had done in life? Then read the conversation between Scrooge and the ghost of Christmas Present that begins, " Tell me spirit, will Tiny Tim live?" Finally read the last few pages where Scrooge promises to keep Christmas in his heart all year long.. and he became a better man, a second father to Tiny Tim,, etc. Plenty of ideas for your paper, I promise you.
What is the best way to start conversation with an unknown girl?
The key to success is confidence and humour. Trust me!

I personally used scene 1,and it one of the easiest way to start conversation.The only condition is that you have to be bold before doing that.Scene 1:Me: hey! Your shoes looks great, from where did you get these?Similarly, you can compliment her in any way.Everyone loves compliments.Scene 2:Me:hey hi,I'm new in this town, do you know where “city square” is?(ask any place which you already to know just to initiate the conversation)Scene 3:Me: hi, my name is “xyz”(whatever your name is), shake hands and then ask her name.And whatever name she give, just say “my mother got the same name!”Scene 4:Me: I'm looking for my girlfriend,she was there few minutes ago,I can't find her. Can you please help me.She'll say how?Me: I can show you her pic, you might have seen her.She'll say okay.Me: open front camera and act like you're really finding a pic. And then, just point camera towards her.Bingo!Scene 5:Me: hey I'm lost, can you please give me directions?She: to where?Me: to your heart.Scene 6:Me: on a scale of 10, you are nine out of ten,Take a pause for two seconds and say “I'm the one you need!I'll write other pick up lines later.Upvote if you find this helpful.
