Cover your eyes ... It's an Ellipsis ...


Well. Not quite. I have two favorite "punctuations" in writing. One as you no doubt have noticed is the ellipsis. The other is the "Enter" key or carriage return. Where this has its roots, I cannot say. Perhaps it is a throw back to my once dramatic style. Sure I have never been even close to being a thespian, but in speech (more so in writing), I prefer the dramatic pause. How effective I am at creating dramatic pauses anymore I cannot say. As a result, much of my writing, especially in email, ends up looking like it is in sonnet or haiku form. No real meat to this post, although I thought I would throw it out there. Maybe as a warning to some should you ever get the misfortune of receiving one of my verbose and oddly structured emails...
