December 1, 2017December 14, 2017 Leave a comment

I’m a writer. I didn’t go to school for it, but through a series of life-altering events, it has become my livelihood and my passion. It took me a couple of years of dabbling in the work before I felt confident enough to say that I am. A proofreader. An editor. A writer. I’ve been a… Continue reading Good Story or Great Book

So I just realized that it’s been nearly a year since I last posted in my little blog, and I need to get to work.

Well I did, but it was always a fantasy. You know, being the elusive writer making millions while living in a cabin in the… Continue reading Accidental Freelancing: Lessons from a Few Weeks of Futility

Here Goes Something

Forgive me, but this is my very first post on my own site, and I’m just trying to figure out how to get things done. I’m pretty sure I’ll make a few mistakes, but eventually I’ll get the hang of this. I recently found myself at a transition in my life that I wasn’t planning on,… Continue reading Here Goes Something
