Hi Michael T,
This is a fantastic preface. The title is enigmatic and attention grabbing. It tells the reader very little about what the preface is actually about. They are intrigued and will begin to read to find out more. You launch into the preface without introduction or preamble. This takes all the reader's attention and focuses it completely on the topic and the preface. They will read to the last word. You have written about how, exactly, feel about yourself. The reader is delighted with the look they get at you as a person as well as a writer. The length is perfect. You completely develop your topic without belaboring the issue and making the preface tedious. You use an aggressive style that is very appealing to the reader. Great job.
