I am constantly struggling to grow as a writer. This means being my own worst critic. If I am lucky enough, in the coming days, to gather up a loyal following of readers, I owe it to them to give the very best I have to offer.
No writer is ever happy with their first draft of anything. This is why I reread, and reread, and read over again - every word I put down.
But if I let myself nitpick over every little detail, all the time, you'd have nothing to read and I might as well just fold up camp.
Thankfully, this site allows me to make changes on existing texts whenever I want.
And I'm going to do that. A lot. Because when it comes to my credibility as an author, I'm pretty fucking anal.
Sometimes these edits will be small, like a sentence tampered with here or there, or on the other end of the spectrum - a complete shift in tone - depending on how I feel about a particular essay at the moment.
I hope this will convey to everyone just how important the subjects I choose to write about are to me, and the regard I have for anyone who takes out the time to hear what I have to say.
My first goal is to entertain, and hopefully make you laugh, and if you just bear with me, I'll make make it worth your while.
