Slang v. Ant

I deeply respect good writing, as much as I'm infuriated by those who seem to do it naturally. Sometimes I write for Slang Editorial. It's a blog, as this is really just a live journal in disguise. Every once in a while, I lose the confidence I've worked hard to achieve and find myself without anything worth saying to more than the five people I know who read this page during their coffee, or hot tea, break. I'm fine with this area seeming like the kid's table at the punk rock thanksgiving, I'm just uncomfortable blemishing a space which could be occupied by great writers if they ever got around to posting with any consistency. Saying things in front of other people has never been what I'm good at. My skills are more consistent with pushing buttons and pulling levers backstage or running around making sure the talent gets to the venue on time. I work best when there is no direct popular attention, or, specifically, when the pressure has just one face. This I can handle. Sometimes I’m even good at it.

This is all to say, I think I'll keep this space for fiction. So there.
