The longest word journey begins with a single word.

My Word Journey So Far...

I love taking word journeys — wending my way through uncertain territory, taking a path I hadn’t previously considered, then coming upon what I know to be my destination. While words can be stumbling blocks to many, as they agonize over putting them together in some order to first make a sentence, then a paragraph, words have always been my friend.

Having “a way with words” has served me well over the years. I found self-expression through poetry and songs when I was younger, and later found a satisfying source of earning my “bread and butter” as a self-employed writer, editor, photographer, and graphic designer. 

Publications became my niche, as I produced newsletters, magazines, brochures, and materials for fundraising and marketing campaigns, from creative concept to finished product.

Throughout my career, I’ve told stories from many perspectives and for diverse objectives. Those that have been especially gratifying have been word journeys involving:

• patient success stories of survival against the odds; 

• stories of advances in medical technology; 

• profiles of people from all walks of life; and most recently, 

• tales of travels to places far and near.

A real-life journey in 2006 brought me to northern Texas from southern Indiana (and has since taken me back to central Indiana), where I followed exciting new paths, which transported me into uncharted territory, personally and professionally. 

My storytelling abilities were drawn toward the world of books — editing the words of others, in some cases, and being an author’s writing partner, telling his story as told to me, in another. I’ve found that the desire to tell one’s story is not at all uncommon, but the ability of the storyteller to bring his or her story or experience to life through the written word is not always equal to the desire. That’s where I come in...
