The good folks at [Men With Pens](https://menwithpens.ca/?ref=philsimon.com), one of my favorite writing sites, recently ran one of my pieces.

## Excerpt

My favorite band is [Rush](https://www.rush.com/?ref=philsimon.com "Rush site"). Always has been. As a kid, it was the music that attracted me, but as I grew older and presumably wiser, I was able to move beyond. I could understand lyricist Neil Peart’s visceral and profound lyrics.

They began to speak volumes to me.

Nicknamed “The Professor”, Neil has written books, penning four incredible texts about traveling, loss, and music. As I began writing books and blogging myself, I developed an entirely new appreciation for Peart’s genius that affects my writing to this very day.

In this post, I share some writing tips that can help scribes of all levels.
