Ellipses
My view is this:
Too many writers use ellipses without realizing how expressive a comma truly is. Except in rare cases, I reserve the ellipsis (three points within a sentence, four to mark its completion) for indicating an omission. I don't need to see a line of dots to know that a character feels trepidation, or that living thought continues.
What about you? What are your thoughts on the subject?
