Greetings and Salutations, Good People of Industry. As will be revealed in these pages, I really like working with words to make things happen. I especially like it when a word reveals itself to have a surprising and dramatic past. Take for instance: Freelance. Currently, I'm "freelancing" and it's all sunshine, jellybeans and unicorns. Producing copy for exciting and diverse projects for great clients with interesting objectives. Good times. Yet...If you dig a little deeper, and get all etymological about it, all of a sudden I'm up to wicked warfaring for whomever will pay me. Ruthless! Yeah! That's me: Wicked word warfaring. I'm ok with that, too.
