the underground

For 27 years I've worked as a copywriter. Despite that, I retain a youthful appearance and remain mostly sane.

I'm a copywriter, but the Underground isn't focused solely on copywriting; it's a reflection of one writer's interest in other writers (and writer's tools, text editors, creativity - and everything else that bubbles up).

Enjoy.
