For more than six years, I was the editor of three local newspapers in Suffolk County on Long Island. Before that, I was a copywriter for Bed Bath & Beyond. I have also freelanced for other companies and media outlets, but I need to write more about what I want to write about.
That’s why I started this blog, so I can write about whatever is on my mind.
There’s nothing wrong with writing about news, especially when it’s geared toward hamlets, villages and small towns. More prominent media outlets don’t have the time to cover every nook and cranny. People need to know what’s going on in their town halls, school districts as well as the fun events taking place in their areas.
There’s also nothing wrong with writing product copy for a major retailer’s website. It makes shopping easier for people to pick out products online, where someone has ensured all the relevant information is there.
However, writers sometimes have to write about whatever they feel like. Writing for me again feels like I’m returning to me.
Welcome to my journey home.
