I saw - I think at least a few times now - authors separating sections of a story with

~MC~MC~MC~

or something similar. What does that mean? Is it an acronym for something, or just some odd artistic liberty?

: Use of "I" is perfectly acceptable in a narrative first-person memoir. Especially if it is written in either a conversational or confessional style (i.e., a diary). Quotation marks for dialog

I think you hit a utf8 error. I have seen cases where the author will select some fancy character because they want something prettier than a horizontal rule, and because the character is not part of the expected characters for the software tools in the workflow garbage is produced. I could give you the full technical details, but you probably don't care.

Bottom line think of it as a botched horizontal rule, and try not to repeat the mistake.
