I AM
smart.
I ask smart questions.
And I usually do my damnedest to throw down some smart answers.
I’ve held a lot of different jobs on the way to making writing my one and only, and each one has taught me something crucial.
Like how to manage a project within an inch of its life.
Like how the bar should be set as high for stickers and T’s as it is for a brand ad.
Like how being a production assistant on the set of a Denny’s commercial really wasn’t for me.
I love a good Facebook status.
I love to love you, baby.
I love to write.
And I get it.
