Good morning ladies and gents. Just a quick question. When you are writing and the character has thoughts or talks to themselves in their head how do you write it?
We sat in silence. “Alex what should I do?” (The character is talking to herself in her head.
Cheers :D xx
I use signposts to a persons thoughts. Eg. Alex's sighed inwardly. How was he going to solve his dilemma. His mind wandered. Alex starts thinking.
Then to escape from his thoughts.
Alex's thoughts were interrupted by his mobile phone, or Alex's reverie was interrupted by a knock at the door.

Hope it help.
gud luck
It depends what person you're writing in, in my opinion. With 1st person, I tend to write my protagonists thoughts as regular text (obviously). But when she has a specific thought that needs to be a little punchier, I use italics.
