Spillin' It to the Page

Huzzah and hoo-raaah, ladies and gentlemen! Lend me your eyes and dig this:

I have become a published author, it seems. An essay of mine has landed on The Good Men Project, an online idea-based, social platform and media company. I have been following them almost from their start on the web, and I finally overcame inertia and fear to submit to them something I wrote.

They liked it. They decided to run it. This makes me glad.

The essay I submitted is a revised version of a post I did here on Irish Gumbo, in the summer of 2012. The idea never really left my head, so I polished, updated and tweaked, and there it went! If you would so kind as to pay us a visit, show us all some love at Salaryman in the Mist: Finding Self-worth in the New Great Depression. I would honored if you did, and thank you for keeping me inspired to write!

  1. IG, I'm very sure that you are a fantastic architect. Through your writing I've thought that your personality lends itself to being the best you can be at whatever you do.

    A door closes. A window opens. If your writing is secondary in any way to your architecture, you must be a top-notch architect, because your writing is something that truly touches people.

    Great article! It's a wonderful piece that showcases your ability to WRITE! I want the novel!!!
