My protege gives his goodbye speech, and sees the other side of me.

As I’ve mentioned before, one good thing that has come out of my exploration of the PUA community over the last few years is that it’s a good window into the minds of assholes and wannabe assholes. Some sites attract a better grade of guys than others. Good or bad, I’ve learned alot that has helped me to relate better to my male counseling clients.

At some point in a writer’s life though, one has to step back and consider what all this means to me personally…what it means for my real life, and what it means for the characters I write about. How has this new insight changed me? Has it really changed me? Should it?
