Keith Writes Words

(This is the second in a multi part series on my personal journey with what I call perfectionism, you can find the first part in my profile just before this post. I give you the same disclaimer as before, this is pretty raw, you have been warned) Mr. Perfect. There is an old Everclear song called […]

(There is a lot to write on this particular topic, so I am going to be tackling it in a multi part series. In writing about perfection, in particular my own attempts at perfection, It might get a little raw, fine a lot raw. You have been warned) Part One- The Rise Of The Representative I […]
