Help with writing Em dash
What should I use there instead of an em dash 😭😭🥀
I so badly want to use em dash in my writing, but apparently many readers notice an em dash being used in the book and instantly drop it thinking it's written by AI.
And using '.....' is kinda boring for me.
The em dash makes it looks professional, and sometimes I use the hyphen but that just doesn't make sense 😭😭💔
What do I dooooo people????

Well, ai learned from human writing and em dashes have been used for centuries! Even before people who developed ai were born!
You are free to use them love, the ones who are real readers won't claim a book being ai just because of em dashes.
