I Owe Everyone an Apology

For my obscurity

Yep. I have done it again.

My last story was intended only to make the light-hearted statement that my writing was light-hearted. I mentioned that I did not participate in things with gravitas, but usually only fun stuff.

I suspect that many interpreted it that I was saying I was better or nicer than other folks. That was certainly NOT my intent, but I feel as though I have insulted a good number anyway, based on my low reads, zero fans, no claps, and even no highlighting.

So, perhaps I should not think of this as an entertainment platform. Perhaps I should write more aggressively, with more reality.

My trying not to be a stumbling block may be tripping some people up.

My trying to be inoffensive may be offending someone.

Therefore, starting today, I represent the unread and the unfanned. And if you don't like my story that's OK. In fact, that's tough. Deal with it.

Oh, and thanks for your time.
