#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 09 Do you ever use particular punctuation characters like [, ], {, }, <, >, #, _, *? How do you use them?
Yep. I like to put characters' "thought" bubbles inside [ ], emulating the yellow boxes used in comic books. I use the # for text coming from computers that isn't a prompt, which I write as a simple >. My favorite way to emphasize things is *THIS*. And, of course, I use and overuse and abuse the em-dash and the ellipsis…=)
And commas. *LOTS* of commas…=D
