I’m thrilled to finally have this site up and running. Many thanks to Paula Hersey of Penguin Digital Design in Hyannis, Massachusetts, and Jeffrey Burt, husband and photographer extraordinaire, for helping me make it happen.

I hope to use this blog to not only think out loud and expound on the world of freelance writing, but also to engage readers with ideas and opinions that I and others have. I hope you will visit and leave a comment.
