This blog is the alter ego of a professional writer who resides in Florida as a creative and critical writing experiment based on news and personal accounts, past and present, that define the landscape of the most dysfunctional state in the union. You may have noticed a drop-off in posts since the gunshine state launched.  We were having a hard time setting aside time with my full-time writing gig that I had essentially abandoned it. But we’ve realized that having the freedom to control whatever we want to publish is worth the self-motivation. So if you’ve come across our blog, we hope you come away enriched, enlightened, and entertained by what you read here.
