In short

  •   I am a househusband/partime consulting psychologist who lives on a farm in redneck, indiana.  I write stories without quotes for dialog, without apostrophes as much as possible, with internet abbreviations, and with run-on sentences because i like them, not because i dont know the English language.
       And i dont believe you should hesitate 2 reinvent the English language if it makes 4 better writing.  Oh, and i dont capitalize "i" unless it's at the beginning of a sentence because it's a pain in the ass.
       In German, I (ich) is not capitalized, but You (Sie) is, so why not reverse them this way in fiction?  Since we all use "u" for "you" in e-mails, capitalize U and use it in place of you.  So u get derivative words like:
       Ur-your
       U're-you're
       U'd-you'd
       U'll -you'll
        And so on.

  •    I survived this long.
