I use them too often! Not everything should read like "Surprise!" I'm banning them! Especially when used together!!!
Seriously, I've let my writing fall to pieces, and since I'm not currently immersed in cancer battles of the mind-numbing variety (mine are more tedious or irritating than mind-numbing these days), it's time to pretend that I have some craft left in me.
The exclamation mark must go. Along with it, all kinds of other nasty habits, including rambling sentences that get lost and end up in an elipsis... And overuse of dashes, and unintended word repetition, and such.
But the exclamation mark is first. Gone! (Kidding. I saw that there. I used it again!!)
