Shameless Self-Promotion

Posted by Matt Cipriano | No Comments

Writing for AmericanMadness has been good for me. It has allowed me the opportunity to hone my writing style (I was going to say “skills” there, but we all know I don’t actually edit or learn from my common mistakes. Josh has tried breaking me of using dashes, ellipses and semicolons when a period is actually all that is needed, but that just isn’t much fun. I am a much bigger fan of creating my own grammatical magic), as well as helping me to create a definitive voice within my writing.

It has also opened my writing up for others to read (outside of professors, no one has ever really been subjected to my babble. I rarely read over what I write myself, which explains most of my errors). Well, one of the “others” who has been reading my babble thought that it would be good for a broader* audience.

As of yesterday I have also started writing posts for Dame Magazine’s blog, The Dose. My first post appeared on Sunday morning (it’s on a new Japanese designer, and chindongu or “queer tools”) and I will be writing two posts a week for them, so now there are more places to catch my writing.

*No pun intended
