Just a mom doing mom things. And writing, lots of writing.

I began this journey in 19xx - ah - who needs an age. Suffice it to say I've been around awhile. There was never a point when I wasn't writing something. In 2013, I made it official and jumped into political blogging. Getting paid to do something I loved was absolutely the greatest thing since sliced bread. After bouncing around in politics, I landed in the vast world of SEO writing. From there I have written on a variety of subjects, learned the ins and outs of the industry, and honed my writing skills. I'm still just a mom, but I have some mad writing and editing abilities!

Jan 2018 - Dec 2019 -- Income Store (SEO content)
Wrote numerous articles about politics for several sites, from both sides of the political spectrum. Pitched and wrote evergreen articles to increase site viability. Stayed on a deadline, providing timely content in a ready-to-publish format requiring minimal editing.
Began writing and learning SEO content as a writer. I was advanced to the position of editor after two months and was assigned as a special projects editor. As a writer, I wrote on a variety of subjects, both in and out of my wheelhouse. As an editor I was tasked was verifying content for facts, clarity, use of AP and in-house style, and grammar.

View some of my writing below. The snippets on most are available, although the majority of the websites they were originally published on are now defunct due to the implosion of Income Store. I lost years worth of work in their ponzi scheme. I can provide additional links on request and you may also view my writing on my personal website at martysmisadventures.com.
