Creating an em dash on a Mac is easy; all it takes is pressing three keys. There's no need to write anything at this point. Simply press those keys to enter an em dash in your document, and you will see how it is done on screen. Notice that there's no space before or after the keyboard combo. It is directly transformed into a symbol.

"You are one stubborn lady, you know that?." His raspy tone sounded close to her ear, sending gooseflesh up her arms. And her emotions must have been closer to the surface than she'd wanted to admit, because she could feel the sting of tears behind her lids. She hid her face in his shoulder and laughed. It sounded a little wobbly, but it was the best she could produce. "You hardly know me, David. And you already made it clear to me that you don't want to" "Well, you are making it difficult for me to stick to that" "It wouldn't be so bad if you let yourself. Forget about whatever reason brought us together. Let go... live in the moment" David groaned, and then his hand was beneath her chin, tilting her face up. Bonnie smiled, thinking he had a few more questions for her, when his mouth closed over hers and she couldn't think at all. —---------- Bonnie Rimmer is in danger, and David Stewart knows that it's all his fault. He had made more than a few enemies over the years, but a creepy stalker kidnapping the woman he was meant to protect is an entirely different matter. All of this could have been avoided if he had kept to one rule: don’t protect anyone you want to screw. Don't get emotionally involved with your client. But with Bonnie, he’s caught between his job and his increasingly hard libido. The woman is way out of his league, but David wants nothing more than to take the hot volcano of a woman in his hand. To make her writhe in pleasure, until she’s at his complete mercy. She needs protection. He needs satisfaction. And the moment the line is crossed, all hell will break loose…

How To Em Dash

Using an em dash is quite simple! Just think of it as a way to add emphasis or a pause in your writing. For most word processors, you can create an em dash by typing two hyphens together, or if you’re using a Mac, it’s Option + Shift + - . On Windows, you can press Alt + 0151 on the numeric keypad. It’s a smooth way to connect ideas or add a dramatic flair. I love how it makes my writing feel more dynamic!

What Is The Central Conflict In 'Dash'?

4 Answers2025-06-29 06:38:24
In 'Dash', the central conflict revolves around the protagonist's struggle to reconcile their human emotions with their robotic enhancements. After a near-fatal accident, they are rebuilt with advanced cybernetics, granting superhuman abilities but at the cost of their humanity. The story delves into their internal battle—do they embrace their new power, or fight to retain what little humanity remains? The external conflict arises from a shadowy organization seeking to weaponize their enhancements. This forces the protagonist into a desperate race against time, torn between self-preservation and preventing their abilities from being exploited. The tension between man and machine, freedom and control, forms the heart of the narrative, making 'Dash' a gripping exploration of identity and autonomy in a technologically dominated world.

How To Make A Long Dash

If you're using Microsoft Word, you can create a long dash (also known as an em dash) by holding down Ctrl + Alt + Minus sign simultaneously on the numeric keyboard. Alternatively, for Apple users, it's Shift + Option + minus sign. Lastly, with no special characters input, typing two hyphens with no spaces (--), the system will automatically change it into a long dash when you continue typing.

Where Is Library On A Mac

2 Answers2025-08-01 23:15:45
Finding the Library on a Mac is one of those things that seems obvious once you know it, but can be a real head-scratcher at first. I remember spending way too much time hunting for it when I first switched from Windows. The Library folder is where macOS stores all sorts of important files—preferences, caches, application support stuff. But Apple hides it by default because messing with these files can cause problems if you don’t know what you’re doing. To get there, open Finder, then click 'Go' in the menu bar at the top of the screen. Hold down the Option key, and you’ll see the Library appear in the dropdown list. Click it, and boom—you’re in. If you’re someone who likes tweaking settings or troubleshooting apps, this is gold. Just be careful not to delete anything unless you’re sure about it. The Library is like the backstage of your Mac—essential but not meant for casual browsing.

What Inspired The Author To Write 'Dash'?

4 Answers2025-06-29 01:10:17
The author of 'Dash' drew inspiration from a deeply personal place—childhood memories of their grandfather’s pocket watch. Time became a central metaphor, reflecting fleeting moments and unspoken regrets. They wove this into a tale of a courier racing against literal and emotional deadlines, blending noir aesthetics with existential dread. The dystopian setting mirrors modern anxieties about productivity and isolation, while the protagonist’s fractured relationships echo the author’s own struggles with distance. Interviews reveal they obsessed over vintage postal systems and cyberpunk lore, merging nostalgia with futuristic grit. It’s a love letter to both the past and the unknown, stitched together with adrenaline and melancholy.

How Does 'Dash' Compare To Other Dystopian Novels?

4 Answers2025-06-29 06:44:22
'Dash' stands out in the dystopian genre by blending raw survival with emotional depth. Unlike classics like '1984' or 'Brave New World', which focus on oppressive systems, 'Dash' zeroes in on personal resilience. The protagonist isn’t just fighting a regime—they’re racing against time, literally, in a world where speed dictates survival. The pacing mirrors this, frenetic yet poetic, with prose that crackles like static. What’s fresh is how it humanizes dystopia. Instead of faceless enemies, the villains are former friends twisted by scarcity. The world-building avoids info-dumps, revealing itself through shattered landmarks and whispered rumors. It’s less about grand ideologies and more about the ache of a stolen childhood. The ending, bittersweet and open, lingers like a heartbeat after a sprint.
