Isaac Sharpless

I am Isaac Sharpless. I have been a hobby writer for a few years now. Before that I wrote for online publications, some with a byline and some without. If you get a chance to read my writing, it is sometimes irreverent, tragic, or silly.     

Around us are countless perspectives, endless lessons, and a terrible lack of patience. I write to remedy that, to build a bridge between something new and a distractible audience. As I see it, there are simply too many stories experienced or dreamed up that should be shared before they are forgotten. 

There’s this image of a tortured writer, who demands seclusion from people and people’s distractions in order to write. What a colossal waste of time. You only surround yourself with bias, technology’s distractions, and build a terribly aggressive self-editor. Dump that idea and find yourself a writing group like this one. Let your writing breathe, make a few friends, and maybe let someone else hold you accountable.
