Read 4 books and couldn't find answers to these. Thanks for helping.
1.        After the dialog, there is a descriptive and there is a parenthetical. Which format would be more correct, version A or B, or does it not matter?
A.
When my Matthew proposed to me, he offered me a fresh bouquet of orange and yellow buttercups.
She inhales deeply as if smelling them.
B.
When my Matthew proposed to me, he offered me a fresh bouquet of orange and yellow buttercups.
(inhales deeply as if smelling them)
2.        If an animal is mentioned in the story but plays a minor role (not a talking animal, just a small part), is the animal’s name capitalized on first reference? I know it is for people who have speaking parts.
3. Are italics used for letters being read, a song being sung by a single character (an obscure song), and poetry?
4. If 6 characters are all chanting a single word at one time, do you write all size person's names in the "character" line above the dialog?
5. Are images (hallucinations) of people speaking written up the same way as normal character dialog with an explanation preceeding it?
Again, thanks.
