I have a confession. it's hard to stand up and admit it, but here goes (gulp)

I have 'I'itis. For those who are not aware of this condition, it occurs where you use I too often and inappropriately in stories.

It started when I was knee high to a little grasshopper. I was doing a fan-fiction based on Jack and Jill, it went something like:

Jack and I went up the hill to fetch a pail of water,
Jack fell down and broke his crown and I came tumbling after.

Only two I's but it was the start of a slippery slope.

Kristina has been helping me but it's a long uphill struggle and not a pretty sight.

So if you see too many I's in my stories, please think of me and my struggles to rid myself of this affliction.

Sue

PS my favourite film/book is I Robot.
