I’ve been freelancing on the weekends for Gear Junkie since the beginning of the Fall. It’s been an exciting outlet for me to share my technical writing through – but let’s be honest, as technical as it can be, my soul and spirit hang from the pointing edges of each letter, and rest on the belly of the rounded ones.
It’s all there.
My latest write-up is about The Big Banter from WE Knife Co. – and I won’t go into detail about it here, because you can read the article when it drops next week and give them the traffic – BUT, I will share this photo because it’s a real banger and I am proud of it.
So, a little background: I was outside doing work in the yard and I came across this pinecone hanging off a bit of a dried and dying branch that must have blown down from up on high. I knew it wasn’t from the White Pines that flank the property – so I sat down with some tea and a reference book and did a little research. Turns out it’s from a Pitch Pine, which I have one of, off in a remote corner, tucked behind a rotting ash that the Pileated Woodpecker calls home.
Anyway, I had used the knife to remove the pinecone and – in being pulled away to do something for the girls – I dropped everything in place. When I came back, I knew what I saw would end up being the hero picture of the article.
And here we are.
And now you’re left with a little insight into how I get down to the nitty gritty when I’m writing these write-ups for the world to read.
