Punctuation question.

What is it called when you ask the audience a question in a piece of prose and what is the accepted punctuation structure for this kind of writing.

Examples:
> "How?" you may ask? Well, let me tell you!
> You may be thinking, "Why or how or when," but that is beside the point.
> Do not presume to ask, "punctuation is of little consequence in this day and age!"

Those examples are what I think the punctuation should look like, but I can't be sure. Any help appreciated.

>sleep
>have this really interesting fucking dream
>wake up
>immediately think "this could be turned into a great fucking book"
>later that night
>"what was that dream I had this morning?"
>it was about people shaking hands with each other in a bathroom but my brother refusing to shake my hand
>mfw

High school fag here.

What the fuck am I supposed to do?

I think I might just want to get a skilled service job. Like air conditioning repair, or welding like the anon above

hey /lit/

i dont come here often, but i was watching the tv show castle, and I'm really enjoying it. I was wondering if you guys could recommend me some good crime fiction similar to that. Preferably some modern books, 2000s and maybe 1990s.

Much appreciated
