I’ve been doing a lot of guest blogging lately. I’ve done bachelorette blog posts to help promote The House of Bachelorette (my sister’s company) and today I’m guest blogging over at Design Sponge. I love blogging at Design Sponge because it’s one of my all-time favorite blogs. I was happy to update a blog I [...]
The South Carolina heat has me dreaming of inhaling cool mountain breezes, walking on crispy leaves and kicking back at Mountain Club of Cashiers. I got to visit the place a couple of months ago for an assignment. I wrote all of the copy for their huge new website, designed by the incredibly talented Merge [...]
Nearly ten years ago I started a tradition. I took a blank, boring journal and filled the first few pages with bad poetry, dorky photos and a heartfelt note. Then I sent it away to a friend. The pages of that journal eventually got filled with memories and what was once a cheaply made book [...]
A few weeks ago I stumbled across a contest I thought looked cool. The winner gets to travel around the country to different Lilith Fair festivals and report on the events for Degree Women. So I entered by writing a short essay and I just found out I’m a finalist! But in order to win [...]

New statistics show that more than twice as many new books are now self-published than published traditionally.
Not familiar with [...]
You know that cliche about how the mechanic always fixes his own car last? Blogs are kind of the same way. Business has been off the charts for me the past few months, although you wouldn’t know it by my website.
But I know I’m not the only one that finds it difficult to squeeze in [...]
This week I got the opportunity to write, produce and star in an outreach video for Crossroads Community Church. They’re launching a new outreach ministry and the video will be shown during their Sunday services in upcoming weeks. It was really fun to get to be a part of a project like this and I’m [...]
This week I found myself back in front of the camera for a photo shoot. As a writer, most of my work does not require my face to be seen– only my words. But if all goes according to plan I will have an article hitting newsstands this spring and because the story is essentially [...]
Last year I worked with the amazing folks at Tapio Builders to develop copy for their newly launched website, TapioBuilders.com. The goal was to set them apart from other high end builders in town and make sure the copy was rich with keywords. The talented Marco Suarez designed the website and I think he did [...]
