Writing, Opining, and Chiming In

From time to time, my fingers manage to bang out a series of letters and numbers that form a coherent narrative. This is called ‘writing’. Sometimes, I find someone who’s willing to pay me for it and sometimes, just sometimes, they even ask me to write for them again. This is called ‘the lucky talisman that hangs around my neck and glows green in the moonlight’.

At any rate, I do write and have been doing it since 2002 or so. Sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, but it’s never boring and it keeps me busy. I’ve reviewed hotels, restaurants and movies, and have covered topics such as real estate, IP law, charity programs, travel, food and the difficulties of buying big shoes in Thailand.
