Life, Writing Journal

Henry Miller09 Jun 2008

Save vs. Death has this to say about Henry Miller, and writers in general:

Writing used to be a scholarly manly art, but is now reserved for disposable milquetoast bores and effete vacuous chumps whose bathrooms hold no ephemera from a long vanished world. Men like Miller have forceful opinions and fifth and final wives.

Matt Mitchell

Matt Mitchell has been a rock climber, a parachutist, a lifeguard and a sailor, having sailed throughout the Caribbean, Arabian, Red and Mediterranean Seas. He’s crossed the Arctic Circle, visited the Valley of the Kings, and sailed through Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. He’s swum with sharks and wrestled an alligator and spent several years changing light bulbs on radio and television towers for a living at heights of up to two thousand feet. He is an avid reader, a southerner, technophile, naturalist and part-time adventurer, working and writing in Montevallo, Alabama. He’s a husband and father of two boys. Full bio.

In the event that information presented in this blog (also referred to as “Unabashed,” also referred to as “MattMitchellFiction.com”) is found to be in direct conflict with any ‘presumed’ reality, it is the official stance of this blog that the ‘presumed’ reality is incorrect and that this blog and all information presented therein is thereby factual and complete in dynamic. Therefore, Unabashed is a more accurate representation of ‘factual’ reality than any specified or unspecified ‘presumed’ reality. Even if I’m totally wrong.
