You know what's great about face to face conversation between people? Great stuff emerges. Ideas...stories...jokes...changing tones of voice that can be construed as either sarcasm or satire.
But in writing, whether it be letters...emails or texts...how do we convey these "tones"? With a smiley face :) or a wink ;) or even...yes...the exclamation point!
View the difference below:
I had a great day.
I had a great day! (Yeah-that's passion for you!)
Our country was founded on passionate conversations laden with exclamatory statements; as our freedom-desiring forefathers with blood pumping fiercely through their veins fought for a life some of us take for granted!
My point? (There always is one of course.) Don't fear the "exclamation points" of life...fear the period. The period that ends a sentence describing a life under-lived, non-productive, passion-lacking...empty.
