don't ever use exclamation points, they told me. if it's important/moving/insert-exclamation-inspiring, the reader will get it without the use of "excessive punctuation"! what, if in the course of writing i have actually worn down the barriers of fiction enough to feel as the character does (what are these little bubbles in which the "real" writers entrap their characters so as not to feel the passion or dismay that they feel?) and cannot help my fingers shaping or typing that little shifted 1? yeah, you're right. that was too flowery. thanks for the heads-up advice!
