@grammargirl I've always liked Elmore Leonard's writing advice: You are allowed one to two exclamation marks per 100,000 words.(I assume that excludes in dialogue, though, reading his work, there's not a lot of !s to be found anywhere.)

@aworldinpages I mean, there's the cliché that psych students almost all are trying to find out what's wrong with themselves...

@lowqualityfacts For a moment—just for the briefest of moments—I thought this was real. Then I considered the source, and realized it's super-real.
