What my research told me is that a psychopath cannot change. You're born like that.
blend cannot intent pure rhythm tells writer
Every writer must find a way of writing that tells the reader: This is me and no one else. The Voice can be idiosyncratic, but it cannot be obscure. It is a blend of style and content and intent and rhythm and pure personality.
ashore father guys life night single six wakes
My father was one of the first six guys ashore on Iwo Jima. He's 86 years old now, and every single night of his life, he has nightmares, and he wakes yelling.

It happens; incompetence is rewarded more often than not.
