I’m Just Going To Write

I’m just going to write. I’m not going to think about writing or talk about writing beyond this sentence — I’m just going to do it — but thank God for ample punctuation, gloriously superfluous commas that bog down a sentence and make it fatter than is necessary, causing it…
