Pondering Punctuation: The Interrobang (‽)
As a copy editor, I’m sickeningly familiar with most types of punctuation. I can bore people with the innate details of the differences between en and em dashes or why you should never disregard the semicolon.
When it comes to fiction writing, the rules of punctuation become a little more malleable. You can intentionally write a run-on sentence to induce a sense of panic in your reader. You can decide not to use colons if you don’t like them. And choosing terminal punctuation—a period, exclamation point or question mark, for example—can completely change the tone of a sentence. So, in this reader-suggested category, I thought I’d share my thoughts about different types of punctuation.

Spider Romance Microfiction Contest #3
#3It’s week three of the Spider Romance Microfiction Contest!
This week I wrote a story titled Cupid’s Web. It was inspired partly by a story I read by a fellow writer at my local writing group. He only came to one or two meetings and it was quite some time ago so I can’t remember his name, but the title of his story was Katydid. It wasn’t horror, which is of course what I’m used to reading, but it was a beautiful story written from the perspective of a katydid. I wish I could remember the author’s name because it’s a story that’s stuck with me.
You can read my story Cupid’s Web, as well as the other stories writers submitted this week at this link HERE.
