Freelance/Indie writers have their own unique uniforms. Mine, lately, has been a pair of plaid polyester shorts that I got from Haband (old man clothes, shoddily made) and a t-shirt. I change the shirt, but I have been wearing the same pair of shorts for several weeks now. Last night, I topped this ensemble off with a white oxford shirt, pink tie, black vest, and a black suit jacket. Oh, and a pink fedora. From the waist up, I looked about as presentable as I am capable of looking. Why you ask? Because I am a fool and a moron. Let me explain.

Part 3: Dying Slowly (links for part 1 and part 2.)
I’ll begin with an explanation. I’d hate you to think, despite an apparently obsession with death, that I am a miserable person who gatecrashes funerals for the opportunity to wear black and be solemn. I’m actually quite happy, when not trying to produce 750 – 1000 words on something that makes you sound really weird. Continue reading “Getting it Right: Dying Slowly (part 3 of 3)”
