Cultural Savant

http://culturalsavant.blogspot.com

Giving insight into the mind of a groveling writer who hasn't sprouted his literary wings yet. Self-doubt, worries, concerns, and the harrowing experience of being a struggling artist as the world seems to rush by. Just good, crazy reading.

It's not often that I read a blog that actually moves me. You seem sincere. There is this bittersweet mingling of a realist being haunted by the ghost of idealism, or an idealist being haunted by doubt. Yet, the overall tone seems hopeful, not defeated. I love your voice.
