the work

Sing. Dance. Move. Enlighten. These are what the right words can do, put in the right order and the right combination. It's part art, part science, part sleight of hand. You think the rabbit's here, but look! It's a hippopotamus.

Someone once said that the difference between the right word and the almost right word is like the difference between fire and firefly.

Moving a pen across the page, tapping combinations of letters on a keyboard that result in words that can be found in the dictionary: that's not writing. That's spelling.

Writing comes from the soul. If the writer is not moved or is false in their writing, the reader or viewer will not be moved, and will find the lie. Every time.

When people ask what I do for a living, I am tempted to tell them that I put hippos in top hats. And when I'm lucky I make them dance and sing.

fees

Yvonne bids by the project, and her fees are very reasonable, especially if it’s a project that excites her.

High-energy, positive clients with funny bones catch all the breaks and build major chits that may be redeemed for last-minute assignments and other unreasonable requests.
