Excerpt from my upcoming work:
Tealing, butler to the Shergroves for many a year, entered Master Shergrove's room. Whereupon he found the boy stretched across his bed, a letter in one hand. The other was engaged in an activity that one ought not do, especially on a Sunday.

When you write, you don’t write something once.
You write it five times, sometimes more.
Once for content.
Again for tone.
Again for your audience.
Again for proofreading.
Again for the edit that inevitably follows.
Then repeat.
Eventually you get there.

A local paper found my poetry “wanting.” Fair enough, poetry is subjective.
But a reader told me:
“Your poetry helped me begin to explore the me I kept hidden. I smile more today than I did two days ago.”
That’s what matters. Knowing my words have reached someone.

I planned to write 52 philosophy essays.
Turns out, I outlined 72.
