TongueLash

what comes by us might be the most tongue-lashing color of space we see but we cannot breathe through insulated windows. we sweat in our sheets ashamed to be too naked, too true to yield to passing by serial killers. what isn't random. isn't likely to happen.

The obligatory Getting to Know Me post. I should warn you, I've been doing this for a while now, so here's the time travelling all access pass HERE. I also do this thing called "tweeting" is it? maybe?

“ Here’s the weird thing: success at writing is personal but success as a writer is totally dependent on strangers. I think there are three important things: being interesting, entertaining, and clear. Everything else is important, but really just a detail. If the writing is interesting it makes people think about themselves or the world or the topic at hand slightly differently. If it’s entertaining, that means the process of consuming it is pleasurable and propulsive and makes your audience feel good about the experience in and of itself. Writing is a communicative art, so clarity is really important: you need to be able to get your ideas across. So if your writing has those three qualities, it’s good. In fact it’s probably great. For the most part writers tend to be able to do two of those three things, but it’s hard to do all three.
