Maybe it would be easier to post a little bit of it so it's easier to understand what you mean.

If you go to the beta thread I actually started a thread just for your story and I explained what you should do in there. or maybe post in the beta threa more specifically what you mean. Use an example like Steph said, but not in here. I know when I write journal entrees I use italics.
Rose:
When I do actual thoughts (not point of views, but actual mental musings) I typically use italics. Or at least ''s.
So...
"Yeah, I'm fine." He replied smoothly. That's what she thinks.
Or...
""Yeah, I'm fine." He replied smoothly. 'That's what she thinks.' He added on mentally.

Another way to think of paragraphing is that a paragraph is all about one "thing." When you move on to something else, like a change in scenery or action or thought, you start a new paragraph.
TheDistantHeart:
This doesn't have anything to do with grammar but it does have to do with English language.
For example, at a highschool you got a big hall where the students have lunch and a kitchen where food is prepared.
What is that called in America? I don't know if there's a different word for it in the UK. If there is, I need the word in American English. :) I've looked up several things and I see words like cafeteria and canteen but I'm not sure what's the right word and if those are even the correct words for that.
I've had this issue with my friend from Sweden. When she came over at my place, she found it weird that I kept saying 'canteen'. It's the name for those rooms in Holland. Apparently, in Sweden they say 'cafeteria'.
I need this for a challenge I'm participating in. ;)
