    Finishing a triathlon is far more impressive than finishing a novel. Good luck to you.

    For all those who didn't ask, the highlight of my week (or maybe life?) was you shouting out our live stream/my unsuspected cameo in your video LOL

    Alyssa and the Triathlon, more like. Now that it's over, I don't know what I have to look forward to. I'm cackling at the "you didn't drown" poster LOL CONGRATS ON FINISHING!!! 🥳
    OKAY, interrobangs I thought were the ? and ! _combined_ as in "‽" which is objectively horrible. But if you have a bit of dialogue ending with "?!" I think that's fine if it fits your writing voice, the character saying the bit of dialogue, and as long as it's not overused. I don't see it often in books and when I do it's maybe once or twice in the whole thing. It feels kind of like using all caps when a character is shouting. Overdoing it almost lessens the impact, you know?
    You know?!

    Congratulations! am always in awe of your energy and stamina. And I can so relate to not wanting to mess up the already 'perfect' draft that you're querying - but the only rule is do it if it makes the book better. Creating a copy of my 'good' draft and using that one to make any changes I want is the only way I'm able to feel like the stakes are low, reminding myself that I don't have to keep it if I don't want to. So admittedly I've never seen an interrobang in any book I've read(although that might mean I'm reading all the wrong books!?). But that doesn't mean the world doesn't need more of them, lol!

    I’m so proud of you doing the Triathlon!!! Not your family judging you for hydrating!? I use enterobangs while texting, but not in professional books.

    It’s me. I’ve been targeting you with the sad Once Upon a Time edits. Sorry. But I won’t stop.
    And congrats on the triathlon! I want to be cool like you when I grow up. ❤

    I'm pro interrobang! Who doesn't like a little extra emotion in their books?!

    Maybe we'll see a bit of that 'redacted reason' in your query vlog? 😂

    I’m too scared to reread the book I’m querying because I just KNOW I’ll find copy edits 😅

    I use interrobang. A lot of people do. 😌
