The Cliff Notes Blog

Growing up, who didn't use CliffsNotes? Words were hard. Books and newspaper articles were long and took forever to read, making the essays and research papers that came from those books and articles take forever. CliffsNotes was a saving grace that summarized all those books and took the big picture of them and shrunk them down.

That's what this 'Cliff Notes' is about.

'Cliff Notes' is a 'CliffsNotes' view on life-lessons, growth and questioning with the goal of inspiring storytelling, creativity and community. It is a microblogging project written and published by Austin Bowles with the goal writing transparently, honestly, and reflectively on some of life's daily thoughts and occurrences.

Each post is written under a 5-minute timer and never edited. The thoughts are raw, transparent and (at times) full of typos.
