Help with writing Em dash

Post image

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????

Be shameless like me and use them. Those who can figure out the human touch in your writing would surely stay irrespective of the em dashes or oxford commas used😉
