I enjoy getting older. I’ve known this for a long time. I’d say it basically started around the time I started weight lifting. This took place a few years ago at this point. I would have been around 35 at the time, I’m now 38. A comfortable, awesome 38.

For me, getting older means getting wiser. You accumulate knowledge as you experience life. But more than that, it’s the comfort that comes with ag

“17. Metaphor Is the Tendon Connecting Muscle to Bone See what I did there? I used metaphor to describe metaphor. That’s how a writer does things. That’s some hard-ass penmonkey trickery, son. What? What? You gonna step? You gonna front all up in my face-grill? Ahem. Sorry. Where was I? Right. Metaphor takes a mundane part of the story and connects it to the larger experience of the audience. It says, “This little thing is like this bigger thing, this other thing.” Metaphor is less about fact and more about feel.”
