Anyone who puts their work out in front of the public, such an author or a
composer (or a performer!), must necessarily have a large ego. Without it,
they never survive their first public exposure.

Although Mr. Woodson has an amusing habit of using 25 words when 5 will
suffice, I strongly suspect he has something valuable to contribute here. I,
for one, look forward to seeing what he produces.
