Sometimes I want to just write something and make it public.

Get my brainwaves out into the world in the form of words.

SoCS is great for that because I don’t have to think too much. You get what you get.

I wish I could just do that with books. I’d certainly get them written a lot faster that way.

I’ve thought about starting a pen name with which I can just write whatever comes into my head and put it out in the world without editing it. Because as an editor, I can’t allow myself to just do that … I’d ruin my reputation. I need to be perfect, after all.

Or at least strive for perfection.

Alas, I don’t have the energy to do such things AND write my edited books in my own name.

But I still have SoCS.

It scratches the itch when I need it scratched.
