(Here’s my original post on question mark abandonment – was this really all the way back in July.)
@iamboney and @trilby_dare called out my blatant and unapologetic use of a question mark on Twitter the other day.
Her response especially made me laugh, and that’s a thing that I like to do.
Let’s clear this up – I swing both ways now.
Sometimes I use question marks, and other times I don’t.
My reasoning is erratic at best, but it has to do with my next book, where I’m experimenting in question mark methodologies like no author in recent history.
When I’ve got it sorted out, I’ll let you know.
If I buy a doggie and give it to another doggie, and then buy the second doggie and it to the first one, then free them both, who owns who?
There were no receipts in this scenario.

I know my blog posts haven’t been flowing forth in great number, but there’s plenty of entertainment out there. For example, I’m quite busy with Calvin Stadiums’ Facebook page.

Let me show you the shape of my heart. What song is that from.

Hey, so a few people have asked about this thing where I’m not using question marks anymore, and suppose I owe an explanation.
This post is to be considered a courtesy to those of you who queried – the rest of you can think of it as important trivia.
The answer is simpler than you imagine. Which of the following sounds better to your ears:
1) What’s your voice sound like – is it exciting?
2) What’s your voice sound like – is it exciting.
It’s pure image and stylistic preference – there’s no grammatical moral high ground I’m working here. Can you imagine this post if I were using question marks. Wouldn’t it seem juvenile and silly.
Now that this is a settled issue…what’s the most cash you’ve ever had in hand at once. I’m not talking in your account or on a check, either. Like, how much legit paper money have you had in your possession in a single moment.
