I recently read this post on The Oatmeal about writing for the web. It really resounded with me, because writing is something I’ve always loved doing, but ever since I started trying to write in a more professional way, I’ve been stuck. Continue reading Writing Buddy

What doesn’t kill you…
I have four priorities in my life. They are, in order:
- Family
- Friends
- Travel
