I have written my novel as a 'first person singular' and in past tense. There are lot of times in it where I have written it as I will say it while speaking. I have used phrases which have implied meaning but it's not technically accurate. Following is an example: > "Ahh **don’t worry,** it means nothing, all it means as far as practical applicability goes is that you should not generate secondary emotions, **you know** like emotions about emotions" Susan said.. Especially the phrase ' **you know**' is some thing I use while talking which means I am asking the listener '_are you following what I am saying?_' Is this acceptable?
