If It Sounds Like Writing, I Rewrite It. Or, If Proper Usage Gets In The Way, It May Have To Go. I Can't Allow What We Learned In English Composition To Disrupt The Sound And Rhythm Of The Narrative.

I Don't Have Any Of The Modern Stuff. I Don't Have E-mail. I Don't Have A Computer!

I Want The Reader To Know What's Going On. So There's Never A Mystery In My Books.
