"Never use an exclamation point in narrative unless the universe is exploding."
-- unknown, from a fanific page most likely.
I don't know why I used this quote. I just think it's cute. I don't know which of my favorite fanific authors said it, but it's cute. Wise too. If I could only remember this at all times...if it was tatooed into my eyelids maybe...my stories would be less melodramatic.
But I just love melodrama in a story. It makes for a good tingly feeling love story. Or a really scary horror story. It's fun. But excess usually is, isn't it?
Dear god, man! I forgot the milk!!! (Harold runs screaming from the apartment! Fire trails blaze behind him!)
Bet you can't find a shorter entry anywhere! My lack of inspiration is really quite underwelming, don't you think?
