Man alive, I use *way* too many italics in the first drafts of my books. It think fully 5% of this book is italicized. It's like it's 1985 and I just got my first WYSIWYG word processor and I'm out of control.

Ellipses I use a LOT in social media — they’re very evocative of oral cadences. Not so much in formal journalism yet though ...

Don’t go full Ludlum. He had at least one italicised word per page, often more. Go to one of his books on Amazon, “Look Inside”, then “Surprise Me”. It will.

I believe I may have out-Ludlumed Ludlum in my first book. It was kind of unruly.
