#ScribesAndMakers May 18. If someone were to write a character based on you, how often would exclamation marks be warranted in your dialogue? I don't know about exclamation marks, probably not too many, but every sentence should be punctuated by various hand movements. I gesture wildly.

#ScribesAndMakers 18 May If someone were to write a character based on you, how often would exclamation marks be warranted in your dialogue? Very rarely.
