This month is National Novel Writing Month. I don't know if this is something that has been officially been declared as such by the powers that be like October being Breast Cancer Month or February being Black History Month. For all I know a few people, writers no doubt, got together over drinks as some… Continue reading To Write A Novel or Not
Author: Jami
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.

My Hello
So, I decided to change where I do this blog and now seems like a good time to just say hello and welcome to my blog. When I first decided I wanted to start a blog I racked my brain trying to come up with a theme. Some thread that I would constantly follow and… Continue reading My Hello
Parents
Yesterday I was having a conversation with a friend about the expectations we have about our parents. As children we believe that those people who raised us and taught us right from wrong not only have all the answers but are infallible. As children, most of us believed that our parents had not pasts. I,… Continue reading Parents
Goodbye
Yesterday morning I learned that a man who helped influence my life musically from a very young age had passed away from a heart attack. His name was Tom "T-Bone" Wolk and he was bassist/guitarist and eventually musical director for my favorite group, Daryl Hall and John Oates. He also worked with the likes of… Continue reading Goodbye
