So, I'm realizing that very often, I don't use personal pronouns in my writing. For example, I just wrote, "Looking forward to posting more videos..." Yes, I know I should write, "I'm looking forward" or "I am looking forward" but I often find myself leaving out "I am". Been doing that for years now. Anyone else? Or is it just me?

Here's a question for those of you who have first languages other than English: when you are snarling at an inanimate object, what voice and tone do you use? Do you address it with a familiar "you"? Do you use the imperative? For example, begging one's valve cap on a brass instrument to "C'mon, seat yourself!" Or shouting at a lawnmower, "You piece of $#!t, start!!"
