How To Make A Long Dash

The novel 'The Way You Make Me Feel' by Maurene Goo spans around 330 pages, but the exact count can vary slightly depending on the edition and formatting. Hardcover versions often have crisp, thick paper with generous margins, making the book feel substantial yet approachable. Paperback editions might shrink the page count a bit due to thinner paper. The story’s pacing is brisk, blending humor and heart, so the length feels just right—long enough to dive deep into Clara’s chaotic charm and her journey of self-discovery but never dragging. The chapters are snackable, perfect for readers who love to pause and savor moments. What’s cool is how the page count reflects the book’s vibe—light but meaningful. It’s not a doorstopper, yet it packs emotional depth, quirky side characters, and a vivid LA setting. Some editions include fun extras like discussion questions or author notes, adding a few more pages. If you’re someone who judges a book by its heft, this one strikes a sweet spot: substantial without intimidating.

Whenever I'm writing a new intro email I treat it like a handshake—brief, confident, and relevant. I usually aim for one short paragraph of 30–60 words for a quick outreach or internal note, and two short paragraphs (total 60–120 words) when context matters: first a one-line reason for writing, then a single line that explains who I am and what I bring. That keeps the reader from skimming right past me. Context changes everything. For a cold email I lead with the value or connection (“saw your talk, liked X”), then a tight intro line about me. For onboarding or internal intros I’ll add one extra sentence about how I’ll contribute or who to contact. Signatures should carry details (title, link, scheduling info) so the intro itself stays small. I like to write these while sipping coffee and imagining the other person’s inbox—if it feels too heavy to read aloud, it’s too long. Personalize one or two phrases, include a clear next step, and you’ll stand out without taking up their afternoon.

I stumbled upon 'Sex Stories That Will Make You Cum' while browsing adult literature forums. The length varies wildly depending on where you read it—some platforms host condensed versions under 2,000 words, while others feature sprawling narratives hitting 10,000 words or more. The best ones I’ve found balance detailed scenes with pacing, usually landing around 5,000 words—enough to build tension but not drag. Erotic anthologies like 'Best Women’s Erotica' often curate similar content with consistent lengths. If you prefer audio, sites like Quinn offer narrated versions that run 15-30 minutes, perfect for immersive experiences.

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!

I've seen 'Make Him Worship You' pop up in relationship discussions often, and here's my take—it's more about sparking initial attraction than maintaining long-term depth. The techniques focus heavily on psychological triggers and emotional highs, which can create intense short-term bonds. The 'unattainable goddess' vibe might hook someone fast, but real relationships thrive on vulnerability, not just mystery. My friend tried it; her partner became obsessed for months, then burnt out when the emotional games felt repetitive. Lasting love needs mutual growth, not just one person performing allure. If you want longevity, pair these tactics with genuine connection-building. For deeper strategies, check out 'The 5 Love Languages'—it complements flashy attraction with substance.

I'm the sort of person who carries a ridiculous stack of magazines to cafés and times my reading by espresso shots, so thinking about story length feels like second nature to me. If you want a practical rule of thumb: flash fiction usually lives under 1,000 words (often 300–1,000), while what most people call a short story sits anywhere between 1,000 and 7,500 words. Many general-interest and genre magazines tend to favor the 1,500–4,000 range because that's a comfortable reading time for an evening commute or a coffee break. When I submit, I tailor length to the market. Literary mags like 'The New Yorker' or certain university journals will lean longer and more lyrical; genre markets such as 'Clarkesworld', 'Asimov’s', or 'Fantasy & Science Fiction' often publish tight, idea-driven pieces and commonly accept 1,500–5,000 words. If you want to maximize your chances, aim for the sweet spot of about 1,500–3,500 words: it’s short enough to read quickly but long enough to develop character and plot. Always check each magazine’s guidelines (and their usual story lengths) via resources like 'Duotrope' or the 'Submission Grinder'. Finally, think of the story’s rhythm. If your premise is a single striking moment, flash or short-short is perfect; if it needs character arcs and reveals, give it room up to a few thousand words. Keep your prose lean, open with a clear hook, and trim anything that doesn’t serve theme or tension. Personally I bring down manuscripts with multiple passes and a timer: if a clean, shaped story reads under ten minutes, it’s probably magazine-friendly. Try a couple of markets with matching length and see what lands — every rejection taught me how to tighten, and that’s half the fun.

You can use the keyboard shortcut to create an em dash on Mac. Press 'Option + Shift + Hyphen'. This combination will give you an em dash directly without the need to type anything before or after it. Super easy and convenient!

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.
