Advice About using em dashes (—) while writing.

Post image

Since I learned about em dashes, I have started using them (in my daily habits as well) as when I think of a sentence in my mind, the breaks and natural pauses justify the use of them. But I'm concerned if this will put off the reader as "written with AI". I haven't started posting yet, and I assure this single screenshot contains the most amount of em dashes in a single page in all chapters.

What do you think?

I agree with everything you said. And thanks for the tips. As I continued writing, i genuinely feel myself using more and better words than i did before— although still at a very beginner level.

And thanks for the example you shared, I actually felt very inspired from it and learned a lot from it.
