As I say, I’m a storyteller. To me, it’s not real until I’ve put it into story form, which means I repeat myself a lot. In fact, the phrase that passes my lips most often is, “I may have told you this before, but …”
Called “an author to watch” by Publishers Weekly, I’ve made my living writing about TV, its celebrities, and its past. (I used to pen a column called “Ask the Televisionary” for TV Guide.com.) I’ve also put food on the table reviewing restaurants, writing about travel, and doing SEO and content strategy.
Only the writing counts in the end.
I have a godawful memory, so I focus on the written word. I like to think that over time, I’ve gotten better at it—the writing, not the remembering. I forget important dates. I’m pretty good with movie lines. But after several years, I tend to tweak them. I prefer my versions over the real ones.
Funny goes a long way with me. Probably further than it should.
You’ll find me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
