WRITE SOMETHING WORTH READING, DO SOMETHING WORTH WRITING ABOUT

‘Write something’ is the alarm clock for every writer, Daylight Savings Time or not. What that ‘something’ might be? That’s the challenge. Everyone who has taken an English class, had an English segment, or passed a love note, has done it. But not you? Here’s my favorite writing lash:

WRITING SUCCESS THAT DOESN’T SUCK EVERY DAY

Asking anyone about their writing success is like asking if they won anything on their trip to Las Vegas. Everyone’s a winner when they get back home. “Best trip ever.

BEER WRITING IS ABOUT DESTINATION BEER? NOT ALWAYS

Beer writing is about the new, the bold, the best beers on the market. It’s citrus beer, fresh hop beer, hazy and low-cal beer. From first beer to last beer, destination beer is still king. Go out for a new beer and you’ll get more than you bargained for if your destination is Kalama, Washington […]

PORTLAND WRITING: WHAT TO SAY AFTER IT’S ALL BEEN SAID

Portland writing classes made it seem like everyone in town was a writer. Publish a book and that’s good enough to fill a teacher’s role? Yes it is. Word of mouth got around, a friend offers space, and people pay to show up and listen. And learn. But what do you learn?

SPORTS WRITING FOR THE WIN WITH HORSHACK

Sports writing is more than sports stories and sporty personalities. Sports betting is another story.
