Let’s start from the very beginning.
My father did complex math—for fun.
My mother read the dictionary and the Encyclopedia Britannica—for fun. She was the queen of Scrabble.
Although I was daddy’s girl, the math gene escaped me entirely. However, the love of words and language consumed me. As a very young girl, while dad did some incomprehensible math and mom read the encyclopedia, I picked up a dictionary. An unabridged edition of the Random House Dictionary. At the time, it was probably about a quarter of my body weight.
For me, it was all about words. Eventually, not just the words, but what you could create when you strung them together just so. It’s only natural that my love of the English language—and hatred of all things math—impacted my education and eventually my career.
Today, that dictionary sits in my office, and I still refer to it.
I’ve been been ghostwriting web content since 2009, and I’m fully versed in on-page SEO. I also provide beta reading, critiquing, proofreading and light editing.
Currently, most of my writing is ghostwritten, and due to NDAs I can’t disclose the articles. One day, I’ll get around to adding a blog to my site that will serve as a portfolio of my writing. Until then, I get a lot of work by means of referral or the occasional job from Upwork.
