I'm not talking about isolated thoughts. I mean in an extended piece in which the person who's telling the story is engaging in extensive dialogue and is also telling you his/her thought process, how do you distinguish between the two? Italics is a possibility for the thoughts, but might look cluttery after a bit. Or no quotes, just a comma at the end of the thought before the "I thought." Here is a fictitious, over-simplified example:

"I love your shirt!" I said.
"How tacky it looks!" I thought.

or

"Do you want to go out tonight?" I asked.
"Please, please, please be free!" I thought.

I don't see anything that explicitly deals with this in my grammar books. They just advise to use italics sparingly, or else it makes your writing look amateurish. And as I said before, the writing I am talking about is FULL of things verbalized and thoughts not verbalized.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it! And if you know of any sources on the issue, that would be even better! Than

I guess I am just having the holiday blues this year. Just this last year my parents divorced, I moved in with my mom and tried homeschooling. Then I went back to public school even though my homeschooling courses were not complete. Now I am trying to finsih my senior year of highschool and finish a prescalculus class. Right now I am half way done with it, but I am so confused by it I am having a really tough time. Everytime I try working on it I get so stressed out to the point of tears. I just wish it was finished. I need the credit to graduate. What should I do. I live in a very small town where no one could help me, all I have is the computer. Teachers at school will not help because they do not believe in homeschooling. What can I do. Please help.

When I taught classes in Beijing, I found that my students really craved grammatical rules, as if that WERE the secret to communicating in English.
