One Definite Opinion on Writing Articles, And Other News.

So, I know that you guys all know that I’m a writer of few opinions.  What you’re about to hear though may shock and amaze you, in which case.

I despise numbered articles.  You know, those “10 ways to blah blah blah!” or “37 tips to gobbledy gook!” ones that you see plastered over every magazine and blog from here to eternity.  I have no actual clue who started this awful trend of writing (although I suspect Cosmo with their listed suggestions of man pleasing), but I see it as the lazy writers way to bang out an article.  Besides, it takes zero mental effort to read those things.  They’re more like a literary “to do” list, which I guess technically most of those articles are if you really think about it.

Anyways, I won’t insult your intelligence with a top ten list.  Never.  Instead I’ll just sneak in links to our Facebook page and Twitter feed through my favorite links of the week.  I mean, it’s not like this took me ten minutes to write or doesn’t challenge you to think critically or anything.  Obvs.
