Write for You

                       What makes a successful journalist?

It comes from being in the right place at the right time, but much of it can really be ascribed to The Need to Know. How do things work? What makes people do things? Why did this happen?

Minute timing to catch the right glance, word, message. It probably has to be inborn. Curiosity permeates my core; a need for answers drives me ruthlessly. 

And, yes, a large part of it may just be due to plain nosiness. However, fine-tuning that nosiness is key, so that people not only read what you have to say, but feel compelled to want to.

I've worked it all -- from newspapers, magazines and brochures to online, public relations and greeting cards, and I love it all. I don't think the soul of a writer entails deciding you will only write movie reviews about vampires. I choose to not box myself in creatively.

I like to learn and welcome challenge. Often that occurs through my photos, but more frequently, through my words.

I walk through life as others do, but am more energized by running and jumping. I talk -- with relish -- but hear more than the average person when I listen. 

I hear the grass grow. I hear hearts break. I hear the whispers of the past. It makes life continually interesting, but it's necessary to Tell the Stories. And, it's noisy at times.

I live among you with a microscope on the absurd, the mundane and anything else that falls on me.
