What, how, and why. Etcetera.

As a key element of being authentic and open… I'm ok that some of what I write, in outlining my behind-the-scenes thinking and the underlying reasoning to things, may be highly personal or commercially-sensitive.
Although much of it could be communicated privately, when asked, I'd rather have it pro-actively and more widely available.
And that's why much of what I write and do directly and indirectly engages with the natural 'So, tell me about yourself…' questions we have about potential commercial and personal relationships.
Whatever. None of this is intended to be of Moses-and-stone significance, and simply covers useful-to-know stuff, and about which I've already been asked or am likely to be.
So, read 'em if you want and don't if you don't… it's just perspective-setting info on my what-how-why.
A mention of my writing style is likely appropriate…
What's immediately obvious in my writing are many and frequent apparent errors.
So, to those who suggest my writing is wrong, I say 'it's not, I deliberately wrote it like that.
Along with spelling which varies from English to American, I use lots of commas, to separate information and introduce pauses – often very small breaks in the flow.
And I prioritise flow rather than grammatical correctness, often with an ellipsis to introduce longer pauses and separate various parts of a sentence.
I've either never known, or have forgotten, or simply no longer care about the grammatically correct usage of subordinate clauses and suchlike, along with nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, articles/determiners, and interjections, etcetera.
And yes, of course it's my personal choice to use single rather than double quotes for speech and suchlike - additionally sometimes adding an extra punctuation mark (period/full stop, exclamation or question mark) to end a sentence after quote marks.
And similarly, I'll sometimes use a simple dash/hyphen rather than an em or en dash.
None of what's here is mentioned as an attempt to persuade others, I'm simply explaining how I work and write - and note that I'm fully aware of my unconventional usage.
