  • I ended a line of dialogue with a double exclamation point and I'm not changing it

  • the second draft of my manuscript had 849 em-dashes in it

  • I mentally swap the races of characters in Golden Age sci-fi to make it more interesting for the modern audience (me)

  • I make fun of audiobooks, but I actually just can't concentrate on them. :marseynouautism:
