I did a lot of music criticism. I don't think much of it was any good. I think I wanted to show off a lot when I was younger. Now I just want people to enjoy the story. If it were possible to publish anonymously, that would be awesome.

If my songs are being listened to between any other songs, that is awesome, and I'm glad people are getting something out of them.

The more I learn about stuff the more conscious I become of grave gaps in my knowledge.
