Andrew. Barnes. Copywriter.

Damn, four letters done already. Easy enough.

First, my Diet Coke addiction cannot be overstated — I drink a lot of it. Gallons, if I’m being honest. Honesty is kind of the point of an About Me after all.

I grew up in the great state of Georgia. Joined Cross Country and Track in high school, and it was there, through labored breathing and drenched in sweat, I realized I loved to write. Kept with the running though. Lost every race, too (if you’re not first, you’re last).

Majored in English, Minored in Philosophy. Not insufferable at parties because of this (surprisingly). Often, I can be found reading under the shade of a tree, attempting to serve mystique and intrigue. Philosophy sometimes. Queer romance most others.

Really flying through this whole “A-to-Z” thing. Some of the harder letters are coming, though. Taught as a substitute briefly in 2023. Under no circumstances will I ever be doing that again. Very loud kids = very stressed Mr. B, as they preferred to call me.

Writing is something people have told me I was good at my whole life. Xeroxing, on the other hand, has been something people have told me to leave to someone else. Your boy’s never had an office job, ok?

Zany. Zany’s a pretty apt word to describe me — what other type of person would give themselves an arbitrary rule on how they write their own About Me?
