I’m not exactly sure why, maybe it’s indicative of some disease, some rampant virus caught from reading too many ridiculous Facebook status updates, but more and more in my creative writing, in my blogging, and in emails, I’ve been finding it essential to use exclamation points, and I mean all the time!
It’s awful! In the past I would never associate myself with that over-exuburant, kind of cheesy form of punctuation, but now for some reason I can’t help myself! I just can’t help myself!
I mean, I did used to admire writers who used them, the same way I admire people who drink from public water fountains.
However did that turn into this?!
I need some kind of therapy!
I need some kind of help!
Some kind of exclamation point patch!
Maybe an exorcism!!!
