Giving Up My Addiction

I just read my last post and I realized I have a sick and strange obsession with the exclamation point. I use it often. Too often. I use it unnecessarily. I think this must be a flaw in my writing, which is part of the reason behind the blog, to help me hone my writing skills. There must be ways to convey excitment in writing without resorting to the exclamation point all the time (resists urge to use said punctuation mark).
