13. Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They represent absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college. – Kurt Vonnegut

Semicolons are mostly useless. Complex lists, not often found in fiction, are their sole necessity. Otherwise, a period or comma does just fine. No need to stack one atop the other. They're much like interrobangs that way.
