Finding out if we are a good fit for each other to work with is an important consideration. So I thought I would start by telling you a bit about me as a writer.
One.
I truly am a word nerd. Getting the words right matters to me. Being selective to customize words and phrases to match my clients’ brand is a critical component of my services. I will work with you to make sure that your voice comes through in all of the content I write for you.
Two.
I love to write. Often, I would prefer to write instead of speak out loud. I’ll talk on the phone when necessary. But I prefer having time to organize my thoughts and choose just the right words. Sometimes when I speak, the words get jumbled up and come out wrong. Or the word I want seems to evaporate. Sometimes I think back on something I said and wish I could erase and rewrite what I meant to say. That doesn’t happen with writing, because I can polish my words and be true to my intention.
Three.
Photography is a passion of mine and if I can incorporate it to benefit a writing job, all the better! So I can provide complimentary services to my clients. And I even do a wee bit of graphic design and website building. We can discuss your needs and see if there are additional services I can provide.
Four.
I’m good at writing stories that put people to sleep. Growing up on a lake never leaves the soul. (As you may be able to tell from the name I chose for my business.) I relish time in nature, spending time in the woods or near the water as often as I can. Fortunately I live in a rural area with many outdoor recreation opportunities. Recreating the peaceful solitude in scripts for audio sleep stories and guided meditations allows me to share these special experiences.
Five.
My written words have also been known to get people out of their houses and on the trails. I write promos and blog posts for trails and recreational areas. After posting, I’ve seen brand new followers visit the trails and post photos and videos of their visits.
Six.
I love learning and am a lifelong student. I consider myself to be a constant work in progress and I love to learn new things. What can I write about for you that I get to learn about first?
Seven.
I pay attention to detail. Therefore, I will provide a well researched article with properly quoted sources according to your needs. Need a white paper written? Talk to me about it.
Eight.
I am a single mom who goes on week long backwoods camping adventures with her teen and preteen boys and the family dog. That means many adventures to write about. Family dynamics of a single mom with boys, feminism and boys, determination and perseverance, strengthened bonds, adventures and boredom.
Nine.
I am an introverted adventurer. I enjoy new experiences, but I tend to fall into habits. So sometimes, I need to shake things up with an adventure. What adventurous (but not too adventurous) caper can I push my boundaries to write about for your business?
Ten.
I’m the mother of a dyslexic who is struggling to learn to keep up with his peers. I’m a huge proponent of putting accessibility features on your website. Interested to learn more about what features I’m talking about? Let’s chat.
So – there it is, 10 things you need to know about me as a writer. I hope this gives you an idea of who I am and my writing style, as well as how I can help you. I’m looking forward to hearing from you about the writing projects that you need help with.
