Wow, I actually did it – I am a “blogger.” It took most of the evening to narrow down what I would call my blog. Given my focus on writing, storytelling and communications, I had tried “The Scribe’s Life,” “The Wordsmith” (of course), and even “Write Now,” only to find that others had beat me to the punch. I am glad I stuck it out and decided on The Writing Well. It’s fitting, coming directly from my favorite writer Ernest Hemingway. As Brian Clark (Copyblogger extraordinaire) puts it so well, “Who better?”<\/p>\n
While I am no Hemingway, I hope that my experiences as shared in upcoming postings will provide a perspective on writing well — especially from my unique experiences as a journalist, memoir writer, technology PR strategist and public health writer.<\/p>\n
For my part, I am just glad to be a part of a community where everyone can have a voice, a perspective, a story to share. It’s an exciting milestone for me — and I know I am going to learn a lot from all of you who are established in this medium.<\/p>\n
