Editorial Review: Product Description: This is a pivotal chapter from my forthcoming book, A Dash of Style: The Art and Mastery of Punctuation. In the book, I aim to discuss punctuation in the broadest sense: how has punctuation been used (or not used) by the great literary masters, and how can it make you a better writer? Punctuation reveals the writer. And punctuation never lies. This chapter is emblematic of the book in that it offers a close look at the paragraph and section breaks, two punctuation marks which are normally not thought of as punctuation marks—and yet they are two marks which, in the right hands, can enhance your work tremendously.

I was always fairly confident of my punctuation, grammar, POV, and the various techniques of writing, but frankly admit that I often hesitated when it came to paragraph and section breaks. So when I saw the title of Mr. Lukeman's Amazon Short, I thought: AH-HA--that's exactly what I need! I downloaded that sucker quicker than a cursor-blink ...
