And if a talk-show hosting gig fell into my lap, I'd cradle it like the mama I am.

I want to get my humor column into syndication, develop a larger following for my blog, and get more freelance work of all types.

A deep-seated and entirely noble desire to get obscenely wealthy writing.

Jackess -- that's ESS -- of All Trades

Give me your tired, your poor...

Your company yearning to be named , your business in need of a slogan, your thoughts requiring transformation into a speech, your jingle tune that's longing for lyrics, the feelings you want designed into wedding vows, and your sentiments to be crafted into poetry or a greeting card message.

I'm bursting and if you don't twist open my pressure valve, I can't be responsible for what will happen. C'mon -- give me a project, or, like the unfortunate incident involving a beached whale, I'm gonna blow and send blubber flying in all directions.

(Now there's and irresistible pitch...)

Miscellaneous Examples


Here are a couple of business names I've written --

For a chocolatier: "The Sweet Truth (Sincerely Good Chocolate)"
For an in-home euthanasia service for pets: "Gentle Passage"
For a pet boutique that benefits the humane society: "Treasures by the Pound"

I've written numerous speeches, humorous and otherwise, including one for a company called Journey's in Film, from which a quote was excerpted for a talk by Liam Neeson at a fundraiser.

I've written television commercials, radio spots, radio program scripts, campaign spots, and professional letters for organizations, as well as having personally delivered speeches, emceed programs, and announced events.

So PUT ME IN, COACH!

good to know. on wordpress, one can schedule when posts are released, I wish blogger would do that. This week I have to be more intentional about my writing and reading, I am taking on another project which will require me to be more disciplined. That logic side of me has most folks arguing I should be a lawyer...I go back and forth on that--I am good at it, though not a fan, it's not too much fun :)

Do you blog daily/weekly? I started off monthly and am struggling with weekly blogging.

I have started reading your blog, I greatly enjoyed reading what I had read so far! I started blogging about politics and academe, though I am moving to more general topics, looking for laughter online...I have the feeling your blog may be one I read for fun, so thank you in advance!
