I will always defend the em dash—which I use liberally—to the death.

me writing my novel: and then Edith goes over here to do this thing edith: goes over there instead to do the other thing (gets married instead of. Yknow. Making a phone call.) me: 👁️👄👁️

the tricky thing about writing my own novel is trying to come up with place names…like ah yes the characters are going to…city city or whatever. like im gonna crash out, the number of places my characters travel to or mention by name is WILD. like Edith honey pls just. Stay at home. Please.
