Ok, so I guess this should have been my first post to help explain what I am doing and why I am doing it in regards to Juxtaposed To A Fault. I have been an active writer for 25 years. Whether it has been poetry, lyrics, short stories, or opinion style pieces I have had this obsession with writing. I have always kept it to myself inside stacks of notebooks that gather dust or posted it on my personal Facebook page to be lost in my timeline over the years. A few years back I even started a halfhearted Tumblr page but I really did not work on promoting that it like I should have.
I have been self-conscious about my writing which has been why I, at most, had only shared my writing with my friends and family. I did this not out of the fear of my work being critiqued by strangers but because I felt that it wasn’t good enough to be shared with the public at large. In short, I felt that something that I did would be a waste of time to others. Who knows, I might still be right in that line of thinking. Regardless, I decided to take the leap anyway and create/promote this page to the world which, to be quite honest, is terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.
I am not an academically trained writer. I was an average student in school and I dropped out of college. So for anyone that reads my works please understand that and provide feedback because that is the only shot I have at improving. Thanks to everyone that has supported this page since it’s creation a few days ago and thank you to my friends and family who have always been supportive of this obsessive hobby I have indulged in for two and a half decades. This is going to be an exciting new journey for me. It will be interesting to see where it leads.
