1. One of the early rules of writing that I learned is that you really shouldn’t involve yourself in the subject you are writing about, unless the subject if actually you. That’s why you’ll rarely see me use things like “I” and “for me” in my writing. It’s rarely about me.
That said…I’ve got nothing for you today.
