This blog exists so that I can share personal insights and advice that will help grow your business, whether you're a potential client or a fellow writer. As a tool for my fellow writers, especially those thinking about taking the plunge into full-time freelance work, I thought it would be eye-opening to give a behind-the-scenes look at my published work.

The blog posts titled "On Assignment" will tell the story of how I gathered information through interviews, onsite exploration to places ranging from rugged beaches to tasty eateries, my interaction with editors (when appropriate), and my approach to writing the actual piece.

I hope that these posts provide valuable insight into the life of a freelance writer and help aspiring writers decide if this is the right career choice for you. For clients and the general public, these posts should help you understand the amount of work invested in a deceivingly "simple" piece. They will also be fun, entertaining pieces that in some cases will introduce you to new, cool places (mostly in my home state of California) and to intriguing ideas and points of view.

So keep an eye out for this new type of post and let me know what you think!
