I don’t love my writing. I like it, but the final product that I publish isn’t perfect. If I try to refine it, I will keep working on the same story forever. P.S. I start at least one new draft with a new idea every day.

I am a fairly opinionated person, but people request me to not be honest. I still need a place to voice my opinions, don’t I? These posts are primarily for venting out the frustration. Occasionally, I may share joyous and pleasant news, too.
