Writing True
http://writingtrue.blogspot.com
For quite some time, I've agonized that, while outspoken, I color everything I say and write depending on the company or forum in which I find myself--in my community, on my campus, on a given discussion board and so forth.
Consequently, after long thought, I created this blog to write what I really think, honestly and without censureship.

An honest examination of issues. It's a shame that this is the only forum the writer feels free to pick up rocks and examine and talk about what lies beneath.
