Carving Out Time to Write about Journalism, Life

I’ve been writing some personal essays that I plan to publish on my blog throughout the next few weeks. Finding time to write essays is an ongoing challenge, but I’ve been trying to do it more — for the sake of my writing and for the sake of self-discovery.

For now, I’ll share some of my recent Poynter Online stories. I have two new pieces that I’m working on and that are set to run this coming week, so you can look for those. Here are some recently published ones:

If you have any stories ideas, or if there’s something journalism-related that you want to find out more about, drop me a note.
