I write a lot of fiction, but I also love sharing my opinion. Here you can read various essays, rants, articles, and other works of nonfiction. At the end of each piece you'll also find a link to a form where you can add your own opinion—I love hearing people's thoughts on these, even if they disagree (so long as they're polite about it, of course)!

Many of these are on issues that are controversial within my circle of friends and acquaintances. I don't promise these won't offend any of you, but if they do and you wish to share why, I will certainly listen and consider your perspective. (If I don't, as I see it, I can't very well improve my own.)

So here you are. I have three older ones that I found and wanted to add, and will be adding new ones as I find the time.
