Introduction

Hello,

This is the founder of Clifsidethoughts, Clifton Jackson. I am a writer, freelance journalist, and lover of literature. I've written for WHYY, Philadelphia, Parks and Rec, and also dabbled in creative writing.

I never thought I would start this website. Several times I told myself it would be too much and even a waste of time at one point. However, like all good stories, I came to the conclusion that to start you must begin writing.

With that being said, I wish to expand on every story, article, and/or blog post I write. Every story is a personal endeavor and, no matter how mundane or trivial a tale may seem, I want it to be written into existence.

I hope to learn more about the world around me as I continue to write about topics that inspire me and, hopefully, you all as well.

Thank you for your time and I hope this experience starts off strong!
