Subscriber Count

It’s an exciting day: The Midnight Hour just surpassed FromDre.com on subscriber count. They’re currently at 14 and 13, respectively.

It may seem like a small achievement — but this was never about the numbers.

What keeps me coming back to post new articles or literary analysis videos, regardless of audience-size? The love of the written word, of how the perfect phrase makes us feel. It’s what has always mattered most to me. Through the thick and the thin, the brightest of days and the darkest of nights. The ability to take everything that we go through, funnel those complex emotions down into their simplest versions, and somehow find the right words to encompass all that they are is pure magic. William H. Gass said it best:

“The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words.”

So, even though the start of this journey is incredibly modest, I will keep at it. No matter the amount of trial and error there may be. I thank you for being here from the very beginning. You’re part of something special.
