Isn't it strange that a punctuation mark that is used to denote a pause or a temporary break, is actually my usual way of ending phrases. I wonder what that means? Does it mean I think only in part...or that I like to leave things open? Or maybe I haven't thought it all through...or theres more to come when I think of something substantial enough. Oh look! I've already used it twice in this paragraph without even thinking about it!
Maybe it makes us look smarter than we actually are - like i've kept some immensely intelligent or witty part...well secret. Oh I did it again! Or maybe not.
A pause in thought? So that the reader reads it exactly as I have thought it? Hmm...that makes sense (there it is again). So that we are on this literary ride together, hand-in-hand ... literally. Ha! A tool for comic timing! For those who can stomach bad puns anyway.
So much versatility in the hands of the writer. Easy. Free. Effective. Now if I could only remember what I set out to write about ...
