Even the obvious no-no's referred to in original message can be used at the
end of a line IMO - but probably where there is need to keep tempo/tension
level of the passage flowing - as a continuity to the next line, rather than
as an ending.

I've found that my line breaks have improved a bit since I stopped routinely
punctuationg. If I do punctuate it will generally be after I've finished
drafting so the flow is of words rather than punc.

Cheers,

Frank

(of course it's arguable whether there's any merit in how it works for me,
but we do the best we can LOL).
