#WritersCoffeeClub 9 Do you ever use particular punctuation characters like { }, [ ], < >, #, _ , * ? How do you use them?
usage of < > for other languages so the reader doesn't have to learn a conlang I've invented. I tend to use " ¿ ? " for questions or words when a character is unsure or confused.
The rest don't get used in my WIPs with any frequency to make note of.
HOWEVER, I use those liberally when doing text RP for characters I'm playing in TTRPGs. I mention this as that RP is collaborative story writing (if anyone wants to come at me for this statement, your blood will fertilize the wildflowers of the hill I stand upon)
