The implications of the EnduranceWriter concept and what it means have finally hit home. In a world in which talent, audaciousness, is not enough to breach the gates, a publicly disseminated calling card with my art, poetry, music, tears, suffices.

We have only one life––within its strict delineations, how many chances to get it right. Every time I post I have a chance to attain immortality. With no editor breathing down the neck, no marketing director, no word counter or bean counter.
This is something right.
