At age 7 I decided I wanted to be a writer and basketball player.
I designed some business cards to help with self-promotion. (They featured clip art of a quill, inkwell and hoop.) I gave them to family members and classmates, and found some freelance jobs creating greeting cards, helping with English homework and ghostwriting the occasional love note.
During college, I had to decide between basketball and writing for the school newspaper. Chances were much higher that I could go pro as a writer than a basketball player, so I retired my jersey.
I stuck with the writing. (My jump shot is still nasty though.)
Right now Iām an ACD at VML. At least during normalish work hours. Things get weird on the writing front during the early mornings and late nights.
Thank you for taking the time to check out some of my stuff. I hope you like it. I'm at srm5082@gmail.com if you ever want to talk.
