Claim your profileSamuel Clemons is alleged to have said 'If I'd had more time, I'd have written less.' I learned to write tight when I started with the St. Petersburg Times (now Tampa Bay Times) in late 2004. I shared my experiences with adult students as a writing tutor with Eckerd College's Program for Experience Learners for 11 years. I love the challenge of stripping away the unnecessary to get the core of what needs to be said. For much the same reason, I love working with obituaries - editing them and writing them. I created a workshop on why it's important to write one's own death notice. I'm in the process of developing an obituary writing service and have a passion for the obit as a celebration of a life. We all have a story, and I welcome the opportunity to help chronicle your life.
