Punctuation Mastery: How to Use Punctuation With Style
The crowning of an elite writer occurs once you’ve learned how to use punctuation with impeccable style.
While it’s important to know punctuation from a formal grammar perspective, it’s also useful to consider it from the standpoint of impact. At this level of the writing game, the traditional rules don’t necessarily apply.
Don’t expect, therefore, to learn the “proper” rules of punctuation for their own sake. Instead, prepare to view the subject through the eyes of an elite writer—who sees these tiny symbols as powerful tools for designing more engaging, captivating and beautiful prose.
