While a picture may be worth a thousand words, sometimes it isn’t enough. That’s where I come in. As a professional wordsmith I write for the reader – explaining, informing, entertaining and persuading.
I’ve published hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles and written everything from marketing collateral and computer manuals to testimonials and newsletter content. I’ve also written one novel and am working on my second.
3Rs Blog = wRiting, Running and Reading.
Writing: I write everything. Well, almost everything. I don’t write recipes because I’m a mediocre cook. But I do write newspaper & magazine articles, PR copy, computer manuals, poetry and fiction. Fiction is my favorite, but it’s all fun. Even the computer manuals.
Running: While I’m not fast, or even particularly thin, I manage stress and rationalize my sugar addiction with running. I’ve run two three marathons even though a physical therapist told me I wasn’t made to run and shouldn’t try to run any marathons. I’m stubborn that way and plan to run many more.
Reading: Naturally, I’m also an avid and voracious reader. Like writing, my favorite is fiction and I love to curl up with both commercial and literary novels. I also read social media, blog posts, articles, advertisements and the back of the cereal boxes, usually over dinner. Yes, sometimes I feed my family cereal for dinner.
