I have always been a writer. I diagram sentences for fun. I love language, syntax, and etymology. I drive my friends and co-workers crazy trying to get them to play AP Style Trivia. I am the grammar police, and I wear the badge with pride. I have written in many genres. I have never met a subject I couldn’t write about. I research the heck out of things. I dig. I interview. I Google. I play. I love the process and the outcome. My work has included:
- Reporting/Writing/Editing
- Web content
- Product descriptions
- SEO blog posts (A while back, I wrote and managed 18 business blogs, posting at least twice a week on each one )
- Technical writing
- Email marketing campaigns
- Social media posts
- Humor
- Good old-fashioned advertising copy
Words about writing
Everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. .
Sylvia Plath
If we amplify everything, we hear nothing.
John Stewart
When your story is ready for rewrite, cut it to the bone. Get rid of every ounce of excess fat. This is going to hurt; revising a story down to the bare essentials is always a little like murdering children, but it must be done.
Stephen King
