"Hey Ti! It took a lot of time convincing myself that readers don’t want to hear every single thought that enters my brain. If they did, then hockey blue orange green tea purple monkey dishwasher. What were we talking about? Thanks for the kind words, and heck yes I’m still at it! KELVIN WILL NEVER STOP."Writing Smart Content Will Impress Smart People, Right?
