An imaginary discussion about my excessive usage of ! ,
F. Scott Fitzgerald: ‘Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.’
Albert Einstein: ‘There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.’ Clearly she looks life the other way.
Terry Pratchett: As long as she knows that ‘Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind.’
Joey Santiago: Well, ‘It’s always nice to end your sentences with an exclamation mark, and not a comma.’
Must you question everything!Β
Very timely post for me cos I just took out some exclamation marks in a comment / and I think Jeb bush will always be remembered for his yelling “Jeb!”

I’m so guilty of this and of putting in too many adverbs – I never knew the latter were so hated until I started writing! (See, can’t help myself with the punctuation…)
