LOVE the advice, coach.

Thanks!

Those have been one of the first things to go when I'm tightening my dialog. If the dialogue covers it or the action contains it just as easily, then parentheticals are gone.

Completely agree. The dialog should really speak for itself.

I think the situation where i use parentheticals the most would have to be like (into phone) or (from phone). Is that correct usage?
