Last week, I finally finished my article for the Advocate, an OSC magazine. It may have taken way longer than expected due to my constant editing and perfectionist tendencies but at last, IT’S COMPLETE AND NO, I AM NOT READING IT OVER AGAIN. That’s a cycle that’s quite honestly never ending.

It’s an one and half page article – If I include more than a sentence, I’ve ruined the element of surprise.
Which brings me to the point of “sort of” in the title. We had to change the publication frequency of The Advocate because of the dearth of submissions. So right now, I’ve shifted focus from creating my article to aggressive promotion which again, should be interesting.

Is he simplistic to a fault? Yes. Will I change him? No way.
