Writing is a unique pursuit — few other things can span the distance between a trade and an art form while still falling under the same all-encompassing moniker.

Note: These are the author’s interpretation of quotes said in a context completely separate from today. General Patton was not speaking of 2018, and he certainly wasn’t concerned with what the popular culture might look like nowadays. “If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.” Thinking in terms of groups is nothing new — […]
