"The semicolon already fractures the sentence, breaking between the rational ('She felt glad') and the irrational ('thrown it away'). The ellipsis takes that fracture further. It refuses closure, resists moral conclusion."

This is the quote I keep coming back to when I think about writing in different registers.

[Sam L. Marcelo @samlmarcelo]

"Editors have to take a piece of writing on intuition, on good faith, and be responsible for the many rounds of rewriting it will require to be legible to a decent number of people." — Nan Z. Da

("a decent number of people"😄)
