M dashes are fine.
They are actually a punctuation mark and occur naturally and should be kept.
It is a pause, a bit longer than a comma but not as long as an ellipse,
smile.
for example.
She-stared at the killer... standing in her bedroom... staring back at her.
She screamed in horror and-after a pause ran out of the room and down the
stairs...

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to
stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.

The book I am presently validating has many m- symbols. Does anyone know if
this should be replaced by a comma? That's what seems to be called for in
most, but not necessarily all, instances.
