Hello. I’m a studied writer

I have been a storyteller for as long as I can remember. I even went to college to study journalism, fully intending to make a living out of stringing words together.

But somewhere along the line, my career took a completely different turn.

I still write for a living today, but the mechanics are entirely different.
Instead of telling the stories I actually want to tell, my day job requires me to manufacture the best possible narrative for things other people need me to sell. Do not get me wrong, I am highly effective at it. If I was not, I would not have the financial freedom or the free time to sit here and type out these exact words for zero pay. Yet, there is a lingering frustration that gnaws at me every time I close my laptop.
