There’s no secret to good writing. The key is experience. To write well you need to write a lot and read a lot. I’ve done both. I’ve written for county animal shelters, plastic surgeons, famous Ivy League professors, outdoor stores, non-profits and real estate firms. I’ve written newsletters, essays, screenplays, poems, advertisements, technical manuals, songs, marketing copy, catalogs, magazine articles and websites. As a boy, I actually wanted to be a writer, not a fireman or quarterback. It wasn’t just because I was skinny. I thought writing was cool. Still do. I’ve read enough to earn three degrees in English, including a doctorate. When I was ten, I joined a book-club and kept a foot-high stack of titles by my bed. When I got near the bottom, I’d order more. I’ve actually read entire technical manuals and books (granted, often in the bathroom). Enough so that I've taught myself a lot of software. More dubiously, I used books to pick up enough guitar to amuse myself (but no one else). You’ll find samples of some of my writing catagorized in the links on the left. More difficult to show is reading, but on another page, I’ve cataloged some of things I accomplished by my reading. No guitar samples, however. You’re welcome.
