Grandmother Warned That Self-Promotion Leads to Blindness

M'Lords, M'Ladies, Gentlemen and Nobles, Kinfolk and Countrymen, Well Wishers and Sycophants, Detractors and Malcontents, Advocates and Inquisitors, Saviors and Heretics, welcome to this, most deviant, post of Saturn's day. I have no high handed words for you. There is no lesson in morality. Nor shall I provide you with an anecdote and a scathing editorial thereafter. On this day, I draw your attention to the newly HTML coded links on your right. Primus et secundus link to the first and second, respectively, pieces of science fiction ever published under my name. While my writing may have matured in the last six years, I still find these to be stories of worth and opt to make them readily accessible to the world at large. The third link will direct you, gentle reader, to the blog of a fellow scholar who I hold high in highest of esteem. May you find her words as insightful and thought provoking as I do. Go forth and read. Are you not entertained?

I never heard that self-promotion led to blindness... One thinks that it was something else. Or did that something else lead to hairy palms? Ah, so. I claim the obligatory masturbation joke.

Thanks for the plug AD. May my writing always be insightful and mulled thoroughly before posting, in defiance of most things "blog". I rest assured that you will remove me from your list of links should I ever prove myself as excessively asinine.

Excelsior on laying claim to the joke! I trust, as a fellow iconoclast against all things traditionally blogish, you will assist me in ritual suicide should I ever sully mine with tedious drivel. Excepting of course, if said drivel is invoked as a tool of irony or satire, with a suitably convoluted disclaimer advising ahead of time about the impending opinions to be expressed. Should that be the case I’d rather not fall on my sword.
