PLEASE NOTE: Some of these articles are old, and I've grown and learned a lot as a writer and human being since writing many of them. I may not still stand behind everything in them, but I still believe they can provide value to other writers, so I've left them visible to the public. However, if you feel the need to challenge my opinion on a piece I wrote years ago, I'm going to ignore you because it'd be a silly to defend an old viewpoint I've moved on from. You have my permission to distribute these articles around both the web and the non-digital world at will. Credit is appreciated, but it's not strictly enforced. ;)
