I used to write with with lots of "..." to represent short breaths I might take mentally...end of sentences...commas even...I think I did this for several reasons...1) I didn't have to consider punctuation as much which is always a nice little vacation for my feeble mind...2) It was different...I like different...I long to be different...and yet still revered as the ridiculously goodlooking and charming man that I am...and 3) I hate writing with structure...I like fragmented sentences...talking in the passive tense...starting sentences with "but"...it shows the real me...someone who's not so concerned about the structure of writing but the thought process. However well I meant, I think I've lost credibility in my writing and have made it somewhat taxing for people to read. I guess they're right when they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Starting today I will be retiring my "..." and using regular punctuation in a sad attempt to win your love. I'm not compromising the art so much as realizing that being different sometimes isn't the be-all and do-all. My thought process hasn't changed. My writing hasn't changed. The presentation however is now more or less in the de facto structure that everyone is familiar with. I will however still use lots of fragmented sentences and start sentences with "and" or "but" wherever the hell I please. Maybe one day I'll retire them as well. Does all this really matter?
