Using my words

Oh Hi.  Updatery happening. After many years of using my words to make complicated and/or ambitious things happen for complicated and/or ambitious groups of people (Rock bands, for instance), I've switched things up big time and have been using my words for WRITING.  Might seem an curious distinction, but it's a distinction nonetheless. I used to be a professional project manager with strong writing skills.  NOW I'm a professional writer with strong project management skills.  SEE?  See how that's radically different? 

You are probably reading this because you are considering giving me money to write things for you, and need to know if a) I am good at it, b) Other people think I'm good at it, c) I've actually done it, and d) I can spell.  Possibly - e) All of the above.  The correct selection is "e) All of the above".  SEE?  See how helpful I am?  Read on, enjoy, and remember - I am professional, helpful and I use my words.  You like that about me.

Merriam & Webster: Not Invited

Oh Hi. Welcome to this blog of mine, created to provide a forum for you to peruse my writerly efforts and accomplishments. If you encounter a word you suspect is not "Real" (As in validated by some word scientist), you are likely correct. In defense of the unestablished word - Writing is purposeful. Good writing is undertaken towards accomplishing a goal, of which there are many. A resourceful and creative taskmaster works with the resources at hand, and in the absence of the necessary tool, creates one. If the word works, who's to say it's not "Real". I'm neither Merriam or Webster, I have legitimate cause to assume you are not either, and until one or the other storms my gates with swords and/or an "Unreal Word Usage" warrant for my arrest, I'll do what it takes.
