Dan has a problem. Or rather, many problems which combine to form one big... how do you call it, a conundrum? Unlike a lot of people though, he already knows what it will take to confront the conundrum and he sets out, on paper, how to do exactly that.

Dan's Conundrum is a commentary on what we write, why we write, and why we write the things we write.
