Ellipses Eclipsed [ASR] A brief poem on my favorite punctuation (channeling "Moses supposes…") |
Greetings from the House of Mormont! By participating in a Writing.com activity called "Game of Thrones" , I am in no way endorsing the GoT franchise or identifying as a fan thereof. I’m here to help my team win HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" Good grief, that’s hilarious! I love the flow, the whimsy, and the simple truth of the statement. Ellipses are so easy to pop in, and I suppose as a device to hold a spot when you’ve run out of ideas, they’re excellent. But at some point those ideas have to be filled in, or else your editors will be quite upset… I have problems with using semicolons; in my journaling they’re one of my favorite forms of punctuation. It just seems as though I have a lot of disjointed thoughts that are somehow connected; one wonders if the thoughts are actually connected or if the semicolon is only a semblance of seeming logic stapled into the middle of an interminable ramble spilled across the page. I think at one point someone told me I used them too often in one of my stories; however, I can’t remember which one, or if I took the person seriously or not! As a rule, I only use ellipses when journaling, as a way of separating thoughts and strolling casually from one topic to another. Ellipses are good in writing dialogue, when indicating a pause or a shift in the mood as someone’s speech trails off. At any rate, this is a great humorous item here. I’m too young to know what you’re channeling and had to look it up.
