GYB

In Sydney’s niche world of creative, non-fiction, narrative blogging, there’s a new kid on the block, Graveyard Barista. He reports on the unique characters in his all-night downtown café.

Where I pride myself in the ability to fashion stories from encounters lasting a few minutes, GYB does the same thing in a matter of seconds. He is that good a writer,

Working in the service industry means you only interact with each of your customers for a few seconds each day....Most people breeze in, are nice enough, and breeze out again. I notice the small things in my customers; it’s all first impressions. 

Even more galling, this bastard barista is not yet half my age. But that’s Gen Y for you, no respect.

Anyhow, for your daily fix of tales from Sydney’s netherworld check out GYB. You won’t be disappointed to add him to your Favourites.

Disclosure: GYB is one of my regular baristas who may, or may not, give me preferential service during peak periods. Just so you know.

Don't worry.... there is a depth to your writing that simply needs age to acquire....

Just like a vintage wine takes age to mature.....

I don't think any young punk is going to replace your skill!

Kind regards,

PAUL

PS - Adrian gave me a 2nd chance if I promised to be more positive. NO MORE NEGATIVITY!
