"I'm not a 'starving artist.'
I'm a writer who feeds my hunger
by devouring books."

About

 
The saying goes: "Write what you know."

If you are an editor or publisher, further down on this page you can read the list showing my qualifications for writing on certain subjects. By writing what I 'know,' I often cover such topics as:

  • Marketing, PR, etc.
  • Business Startups
  • Technology, Computers, & the Internet
  • Assistive Technology
  • Vision Loss & Blindness
  • Accessibility Issues
  • Disability Education
  • Nonprofit Fundraising
  • Volunteer Issues
  • Christianity, Christian Issues
  • Parenting
  • Affordable Family Fun
  • Sporting and Outdoor Activities

 
I am also what I call a wanna-be computer geek, and spend far too much time online. Additionally, I love sharing a 'good thing' when I find one. This translates into my writing articles and reviews on various Internet resources that have worked well for me.

Beyond that, I take "write what you know" to mean: "Learn about those things on which you want to write." I love learning new things, love meeting new people, and love asking questions--and getting answers. So my field of writing 'what I know' continues to expand.

Do you have a story idea you need filled? Try me. It just might be that itch I've wanted to scratch.
