Armed and Wordy

Have you ever found yourself speechless and been encouraged by others to "Use your words"?

Somewhere along the line, I took that advice a bit too literally.

My name is Heather, and using my words is how I pay the bills.

I'm a freelance writer who recently decided to trade in a corporate lifestyle of stable income and designer shoes to live on Easy Mac and dreams.

In fact, I even launched my own freelance writing business, Heather Ink, with the goal of providing contract writing services to businesses and publications throughout the United States.

Risky? Yes. Crazy? Perhaps. But truth be told, there's nothing else I'd rather be doing.

George Burns once said, "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life."

Lately, I've been living that mantra.

And those who know me can be certain as I continue on this journey that I'll be living it with laughter, love and a quite a few nonfat cappuccinos.

Welcome to my world. Stay tuned as I take it on--one word at a time.
