Okay, this pisses me off. If I don't sell anything, I'm not a bona-fide writer. If no one reads it, I'm not a writer. Don't even consider calling myself a writer because I'm not out there selling myself or selling my shit.

Bullshit.

I put words on a page, I write. I convey ideas, I write. Someone might read them, someone might not, but dammit I write.

Writer at Large has fallen into that same trap. So, I've noticed other writers that I read on blogs. I must sell. Why don't I? Two reasons. 1) The belief that if you write, you write, and it'll be published after your death. 2) I'm a coward. I live in my own little world, thank you very much, and would much prefer to not have anyone come at me from any sides.

Some say that my characters are distinctly different but I think they're all the same. Masonry, Luther, Casey, all have the same baritone voice. Ice thinks it's a tenor, but I went to listen to some operatic voices and I don't hear him like that. I hear him as the baritone. Not quite as deep as the bass-baritone illustrated on that page, and definitely not as deep as the bass (had to go elsewhere for that voice). Casey, though, is a little lighter in the early years, but as he gets older he gets deeper and darker. More later.
