On this day one year ago, I published my first Randall Writing post. Since then, I’ve been busy adding more content, so here’s a roundup of what’s occurred in the first twelve months of Randall Writing:

The Wire’s Hidden Vegan Agenda

I celebrated rejection in all its forms, both romantic and professional:
