For real though, please don't.
It occurs to me that when I began posting I didn't offer any explanation of origin or any preface of apology. And really I think I'm ok with that.
I figure somebody would ask if they really wanted to know why I named this doohickey mabob or any of my posts what I did, and as for any expression of regret for poor grammar and worse spelling, I don't relish the idea of pointing out beforehand that I'm going to mess up so you can look for it later. I'm all about surprises.
I feel like my sense of style is very well developed in my writing. I don't enjoy talking out loud most of the time, but I don't mine writing down what I think usually. *I think it's because I'm less afraid of conflict and embarrassment when I don't have to worry about a face-to-face interaction.* I can pretend everything's ok in a really regrettable situation if I can't see the person's reaction to the entirely stupid thing I just said.
I'm not afraid to make mistakes in my writing, sometimes because I'm blissfully unaware and sometimes because I just don't care. It's not that I'm completely ignorant of proper English or utterly rejecting of the structure. Sometimes I just like the way it looks. Sentence fragments have their uses. Even if they are the bane of every high school English teacher.
* denotes random psychological wandering
I hear ya! I try to write like I'm talking to my best friend.... sentence structure and proper English go out the window. :) You're doing great!
