      am
     
     
      plenty
      self
      indulgent
      and
      pretentious.
     
     
      Am
      instead
      reminded
      by
      room
      full
      of

      be

      trying.
      That
      work

      writing
      might
     
     
      actually
      be
      worthwhile..
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Postscript:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Am
      somewhat
      displeased
      as

      to
      write
      editorial
      without
      use
      of
      “I”
      or
     
     
      “the”
      has
      failed.
