I've been a self-directed and self-motivated blogger since 2002. Unflinching honesty and a wry sense of humor have allowed me to tackle tough topics like autism parenting, sexuality, crafting intimacy, healing from childhood trauma, and social justice issues. I've written product descriptions and crafted traffic generating landing pages in my own businesses. My ability to create attention-grabbing content has been honed through years of trial and error. Learning delights me and research is an enjoyable part of the writing process. I am intimately familiar with appropriate citation and scholarly research.
