I've mentioned in the past few blogs that I've been having a difficult time finding inspiration to write. It's plagued me for months and I'm, quite frankly, tired of it. It has occurred to me that I don't really need inspiration to write so much as a topic to write about. I actually didn't have… Continue reading Gus

I love words; I believe they have power. I have a passion for telling stories. Fact or fiction, it doesn’t matter.
On the more technical side of things, I have an undergraduate degree in Technical Communications. This means I am trained to be a technical writer. I have been taught to take long and complicated pieces of information and shorten them up and make them readable/digestible to an audience. I also have a special and distracting knack for editing. Finally, I hold a Masters in Marketing Management. Combining these two degrees, I now work as a B2B martech content writer.
Just Keep Knitting
'I knit.' I used to say those words with a bit of guilt or somewhat defensively. It was as if I had to justify having a hobby that isn't associated with my age group. For some reason, people tend to correlate knitting with grey-haired grandmas sitting in a rocking chair, needles clicking away as they… Continue reading Just Keep Knitting
Father’s Day
Today is Father's Day. For me, Father's Day sort of falls into the same category as Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. They are nice and they celebrate special people in your life. No harm in that; none at all. However, I've always felt we shouldn't need a special day to celebrate the people we love...it… Continue reading Father’s Day
It’s Not Writer’s Block…It’s Stress
It’s been hard to write lately. I've been blaming it on my post-dissertation decompressing but I know it’s more. I've been stressed. There are things on my mind that I haven’t wanted to really share except with a few friends and some of my family. It’s nothing horrible or tragic…well not in the grand scheme… Continue reading It’s Not Writer’s Block…It’s Stress
A Letter to You
This past Friday I went to see a performance of sorts. I struggle for the correct description because it wasn’t play or a concert. It was a night of people (actors) standing up in front of an audience and reading letters written by other people. Some of these letter were written long ago, some were… Continue reading A Letter to You
Doing Nothing
It’s been another long stretch of me not posting here. Must do better. Actually I have a really good excuse for my absence. For the past couple months I have been working diligently on my dissertation while also working full-time at a job that I originally thought would be temporary but has turned into something… Continue reading Doing Nothing
One Year in London
Today (18 January 2015) marks the one year mark that I took a deep breath and got on a plane in Las Vegas headed for London. It was the start of a big adventure and the beginning of what I considered to be a new chapter in my life. I had high hopes despite never… Continue reading One Year in London
Social Media
It's twelve days into a new year. I hope this post finds everyone healthy, happy, and fully recovered from the festivities of the holiday season. It's been a long time since I've written a post. Sadly, my goal of one post a week went by the wayside due to a more pressing priority--The Dissertation. It's… Continue reading Social Media
Meeting Up
A couple of months ago I wrote a little piece on the woes of being an introvert. It was a post that was near and dear to my heart because it is my personality type and it often gets in the way of me getting to know people. The main reason I was exploring the… Continue reading Meeting Up
Muddy Shoes
On Friday, instead of participating in Black Friday shopping (which, sadly, happens here in England as well), I went for one of my walks in Hampstead Heath. I've gotten quite good at not getting too lost and managed to get myself to Kenwood House for a cup of tea. This is becoming a bit of… Continue reading Muddy Shoes
