The reason this newsletter took so long to get done is that I've become terrified of sending it out with a mistake. It's actually been finished for months, but I keep poring over it looking for errors. Spelling, grammatical, typos, whatever. I can't let it go because I know as soon as it's in the mail, I'll spot a boo-boo. I've been paralyzed by my incompetence.
You have to understand that this newsletter goes out to some very bright people. Teachers, lawyers, people with PHD's, doctors and even some professional writers for cryin' out load! I'm just a guy who barely made it out of high school, then went to college for art! ART FOR GOD'S SAKE! I'm barely literate here people!
But enough is enough and even though it's almost a year old, with stories about things that happened last December, and certainly mistakes galore; I've decided that I can no longer live in fear, I must shoulder on and persevere. For if I don't publish Kal's Pals for fear of my mistakes, then the terrorists have surely won. Or my third grade teacher has lost, it just depends on your perspective.
