Make Money As A Beginning Writer: Cash For ContentIf you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
The first thing I do when reading an article by a new writer is hit the Find and Replace keys. I find the “!s” and replace them all with “.” Usually I’ll replace somewhere between five and ten exclamation points per 500-word article.
I’d love to be able to forbid writers to use exclamation points because the more horrible a piece of writing is, the more exclamation points it contains. Writers who use endless exclamation points KNOW their writing needs something: so they sprinkle it liberally with bangers.
The article On the overuse of exclamation points. - By Jacob Rubin - Slate Magazine says:
“It’s not that we know we aren’t writing well—and so tack on some exclamations!!!—it’s that we know what we’re saying doesn’t deserve to be written at all.”
Please: forbid yourself to use exclamation points. Your writing will improve 1000 per cent immediately.
