Trying Too Hard or Dumbing Down?

Scath | June 18, 2010

This is something I don’t get, and it causes me to wonder if my SO is right. He told me last week that I’ve become too caught up in trying to perfect my technical writing skills, during a conversation we were having. I write light entertainment. It’s not going to change anyone’s life, nor is [...]
