every single creative writing teacher I’ve had has said (er, stated) that you should use “said" and use the above words sparingly because it clutters up the meaning of the sentence.

Oh yeah. And if you’re a journalist, they won’t print/broadcast your story if your language is like this.

but doing “said" after “said" after “said" is kind of repetitive… so breaking it up a bit with these words seems handy.

If you have a lot of dialogue you can just exclude speaking words after you’ve established that the characters are having a conversation.

"Said" is not dead, but it’s fun to see all of these options in one place.

Stockholm’s Subways Are Covered With Amazing Art And Installations

by Danny Olda

At least in the United States, subways are often thought of as utilitarian spaces quickly passed through during rush hour.  Sweden’s Stockholm Metro, however, is filled with bright colors, mosaics, bas relief, even, installations and sculpture created over the past 60 years.  Often considered one of the continent’s most beautiful metro systems, the city takes the underground art very seriously.  For the price of a ticket, the system offers guided tours with a Metro expert.  Further, the Stockholm Metro hosts temporary art exhibits in addition to its six decades worth of permanent art.  Next time your in Sweden be sure to schedule some time underground.

Best Of 2012: Eric Standley’s Stained Glass Cut Paper

by Amir

Eric Standley’s work is made out of hundreds (yes hundreds!) of sheets of paper that are laser cut with dense geometric patterns. Looking like 3D stained glass from far away, these layered images transport you to another time and place with their meditative quality. What’s most fascinating about Standley’s works are the areas where the paper floats over from one side to the other creating deep caverns with up to 3 inches of depth.  (via visual news)
