    I’m reading Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. I *LOVE* it so far, and the opening paragraph to the “Perfectionism” chapter may have changed my life.

    Let’s get the important part of this review out of the way first: this is a 10/10 action movie. Good. Now we can dig in. I’m the kind of mediocre white guy who took a film class in high school and decided to make that the cornerstone of my personality. I’d like to say I…

    I obsess over things for weeks and then ignore them completely for the rest of my life. Here’s what I’ve been obsessing over for the past couple of weeks: Good Writing and Mary H.K. Choi
