Omiting the first person
hello
if im writing a paragraph or just talking about something referred to myself can i omit the pronoun "I" everytime an action is made by the first person?? i dont like the way it sounds or the way it looks like in a text, maybe cos its kind of forbidden in spanish to repeat words or put them too close in a sentence...
with the second person i can play or go from the name to the pronoun and viceversa or use an adjective like an ephitet but that will be very weird with the first person
Thanks !

The word 'I' is always capitalized, Estela; please do so in your posts. It can be omitted in some cases where the reference is obvious, for example with compound verbs-- 'I skiied and snowboarded till the sun went down'-- and with nonfinite clauses-- ' Being drunk, I unloaded my gun'.
