Thank you for your honest perspective! Sincere thanks. I guess it’s the approach of 45 years of age that I am unfazed.
I’ve heard a number of
times that my persona in writing absolutely does not make sense to some people – until they meet me.
I think I can assure you of my non-arrogance. The wry, cynical, even flippant? note is directed at myself. My limitations and recklessness and jumping to conclusions.
If you find me, I offer you a cup of coffee. In return I’d like an equally honest reassessment.
(Full sincerity here!)
edit;
Ah. Also. Another thing I can assure you of: Sometimes, afterwards, I come across my own writing and find it awful. in exactly that way. Like an annoying and arrogant 15yo had written it. Which is my greatest fear. To become that 15yo again, the person I certainly was for a decade or so. (Starting at around age 12-ish.) I knew I was annoying but I didn’t know I was arrogant. It turns out the two were related.
