I figured out how to delete the obnoxious spam! :D<br /><br />As for semicolons, Vonnegut went on to say they only proved you went to college. ;) I adore them, myself. I've had editors who took all of them out, and one who said you couldn't "speak" a semicolon, so I wasn't allowed to use them in dialogue. (But apparently, you *can* speak other punctuation. LOL) I love Vonnegut, but he's just plain wrong on that one. I also love Stephen King, who says you should pretty much never use an adverb. (And he's not the only one.) But I still love adverbs; I just try to use them judiciously.Jane Kindredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620651445338259619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-75932050839158695932013-04-07T07:49:31.627-04:002013-04-07T07:49:31.627-04:00Okay - think you were spammed in that first commen...Okay - think you were spammed in that first comment... <br /><br />Pshaw. I am a reader - and a high-test one at that, and I don't think that any genre is on its way out. People love their own little pockets of literature, and paranormal romance and urban fantasy are my absolute favorites. Keep writing!<br /><br />(And as someone with a degree in Linguistics, I love semi-colons!)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061337641173075397noreply@blogger.com
