TROLL THIS YO: TEXT MADE ME BETTER IN REAL LIFE.
Text made me better at conveying my thoughts through words, written or spoken. Better at puttin my heart to paper through pen. Better in VERY SPECIFIC ways like a more extensive vocabulary which enables me to translate technical concepts to business executives as a digital strategist, and better at conceptualizing VERY HIGH-LEVEL concepts by being exposed to unique world-views and interacting with diverse individuals which have little else in common -- but THIS.
Damn straight text influenced my REAL LIFE. And if it's not influencing yours, then why are you wasting it?

This is why I came back after about three years away. I started to feel less creative. Being in topical leagues helps me write in every format. The restrictive style forces economy of words, or at least it should.
I have no doubt that the 500-plus text rap verses I've written in my life have improved my writing. And I write for a living.
