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.
