Here’s Why It’s A Complete Failure."
It's a terrible title, and it's a great sign you're going to be disappointed if you read this.
I’m not going to call the guy an "idjit." I don’t know what he’s like, I only know his title. It’s not my job to judge, but it’s also not my job to praise.
This is a story of a man who is trying to help himself. I am not saying he is an idjit. I am saying that his title is an idjit.

I’m a freelance writer, and I’m a pretty good one. I’m not the best, but I’m not the worst, either. I’m not the biggest, either, but I’m not the smallest, either.
I write a lot of articles for money, and I’m also a freelancer who writes articles for money.
So, if you think my writing is terrible, you’re wrong. I’m not a great writer, but I’m not a terrible writer. My writing is pretty good.
If you think my writing is terrible, you’re wrong. I’m not a great writer, but I’m not a terrible writer. My writing is pretty good.
