There are lots of different opinions about what is intriguing, or a waste of time. Is this piece amateurish, or juvenile. Is that one fun and playful. Are these ones too opaque, or inaccessible. Would that be a direction you would like to see me pursue. Is this really good, and that not so good.
I am putting up a fair bit of my output over the last few years and I am hoping that some of the good folk here at TFP would take the time to tell me what you like, or don't like. I have my own ideas and they evolve, but I have been working in a vacuum of sorts, without enough broad-based give and take from the public. This is where you guys come in. Tell me what you think. Not just the nice stuff either. If I find myself out in the cold, cold world there will be critics who will gladly point out where I have fallen short. With your hard critiques I hope to make fewer fumbles and mis-steps.
So, to get on with it.
