I like to write.

As far as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed writing. I also like to share what I write with others. For a while I’ve blogged at other locations (like here, where I post more academic, research-driven work regularly or here where I talk about what it’s like to write a dissertation) and tweeted like it’s no one’s business, but I didn’t have a personal blog where I could post my organized thoughts on other issues unrelated to sound and to the dissertation process.  My desire to write was the reason why I decided to become an English major in the first place. After years of writing to fulfill requirements, I am writing because I want to.

My posts run the gamut, but I promise to keep things interesting.Showing up to work is half the battle, I will try to post at least twice a month. Oh, and my views are mine alone and no one else’s, don’t worry.

New here? Check out the most popular posts so far, starting with the most popular:

1. “Life Happens (Or, My Commitment to Grad School)”
2. “My Fear of Commitment”
3. “New Homes, Old Homes (Or, What Happens When You Leave Home?)”
4. “Our Bodies, Our Selves (Or, Body After Baby)”
5. “Listening to the City”

Okay, what else goes on around here?

I’m a freelance editor, and I have my rates here too.

I’m a blogger at other venues online. I keep a log of those posts on this page.

I’m a writing coach; I’ve worked mostly with academics, but I’m happy to work with all kinds of writers too. I consider myself a cheerleader, a voice of reason, a sounding board, a devil’s advocate, and a wordsmith. I help writers figure out where all those ideas in their head are going. You can read more about that here. The initial hour-long consultation is free.

It’s not fair that I enjoy working with writers so much. But, hey, life isn’t fair, or so people say.
