Have you ever written anything that is SO not worth reading?
That it just drives people away? ALL ABOUT THIS COLUMN, legend of the lost Struggle Bus!
Well, I know you don’t think that ever happens to me, but if it were to ever happen, I would not know exactly what to do with it. That would be time-consuming.
Struggle Bus used to be one of my regular features every week on Medium. The moving cursor having sickened moves on. *2 or 3 crickets over in the corner*
I operate several website blogs and they are expensive, and take a good deal of my time, but none of them are what I would call perfect places for piece-of-crap journalism of no apparent inspiration.
So this one lowly column is it. Such a piece would be rare indeed coming from my pen.
I don’t recommend you look at it at all, much less read it. Puff pieces, illogical rants, answers to questions rarely asked by anyone but me. Nothing to be proud of. Maybe just a stepping stone to publishing that piece in the New Yorker or something self-serving like that.
In fact, even though free and open to all, it eventually will be made a separate add-on subscription so people under 21 can’t get to it so readily.
And if an article does pass a rather strenuous scratch-and-sniff test, it may be republished, under the radar, somewhere else.

This area marks the end of the public story.
Several weeks ago we used to have, or, at least try to have a regular feature called Friday Struggle Bus.
It started well and seemed to grow in popularity and reads for a long time, and all at once seemed to drop off in readership. Big time. Like I had said something wrong. Not impossible. Not even unlikely, but that’s not the point.
This is where we will put the extra content.
