An alcoholic town

I lived in a town with afternoons wide open to things like coffees, long lunches, and most importantly drinks. Although every one of my friends were employed in a variety of industries, you would think they all shared the same goal. To get out of working in the afternoon.

Language as Story

All experts have mastery over some medium. Certain media are easier to see like a blacksmith and their tools, whereas other domains come with less palpable material. 

As someone who's been claiming to want to be a writer, I've spent a lot of my time disrespecting the medium of language....

Community of craft

During the golden days of 200WAD , a warm sense of belonging blanketed me anytime I logged on. I knew there would be people who had posted new things that I could comment on. There'd most likely be comments and conversations developing either on my posts or somewhere else. It...
