Author Biography
Burke Donnelly
Burke Donnelly considers that a want for both understanding and exploration as a driving force in his life, and the factors that have brought him to where he is today. Donnelly uses writing to explore these wants and found not only an anchor to steady himself internally, but also a foundation from to stand on. Even though he finds it difficult to look back and remember all of those unique and personal stepping stones that have brought me to this moment, he finds that his writing substitutes and fills the void for such a lack of remembrance. So to this end, he asks readers to let his writing, including all of its grammatically correct *and* incorrect syntax, provide a review and preview of the life that he has lived and the things that he has learned. From every fault, and failure, to every strength and success, everyone explores their own perfectly unique life. The most important thing that Donnelly has learned and can give back is this- never shy or shirk away from those errors, for they present an opportunity to explore yourself more deeply and never tirelessly entertain your successes, for this prevents you from further understanding.
