Highlights

Writing gets attention. It has the power to stimulate the imagination and engage a reader in the world of the writer. I believe that when writing is used in tandem with an intuitive mind and devoted heart to convey beliefs, messages, advertisements, and stories, it can truly change things. I write because I love to write. Poetry, Book Reviews, Product Reviews, Short Stories, Lyrics, Music, Screenplays, and the like, are creative outlets. There is no such thing as a 'boring project' when a writer's motivation is to communicate in the most effective way possible. I use my imagination and desire for excellence to fuel my writing. I handle projects with care and attention and understand that freelance writing is either a win-win or lose-lose for the employer and writer. When a writer produces a piece of work that is less than satisfactory, both the employer and the writer are affected negatively. The employer has compromised his/her excellence and the writer has lost credibility. On the opposite end, when a writer produces outstanding work, based on project variety, with a hand that is inventive and strategic, yet clear and precise, both employer and writer can share rich dividends. Thank you for taking the time to see if I may be the writer you need!

However, I 'DO NOT' do HTML or coding of any sort. My experience is with most conventional programs found on Macs and PCs. If I haven't used a program before, I can usually work through to a comfortable working knowledge within a few hours. --I have had hands-on experience with the following: MS Office: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. iWork. - Numbers, Pages, Keynote, iWeb, IMovie, iPhoto, Logic Studio, Photoshop etc... --I understand many programs do not and will not have any effect on writing. Simply put, I have more than a simple understanding of computer operating systems and can work with just about anything.

Work Terms

-- I can be contacted 24/7 at dcwhoops@gmail.com. All emails are sent directly to my phone which I always have on me.
-- I do not answer phone calls from numbers that I do not know. Contact me through email first if you would like to set up a time to talk or Skype.
-- Once an employer has contacted me via email about details/specifics not listed through guru I am willing to set up a Skype Session to further discuss details.
-- I expect specific deadlines based on the length/size of a project before beginning anything. (For you Micro-managers) - I do not mind emailing updates on a project for continued hands-on/editing to meet and exceed your expectations.
-- My work is not done until YOU are happy. I work for YOU. I am YOUR employee.
-- My rate of pay is up to the discretion of the employer. I do not appreciate being abused. I provide excellence in everything no matter my compensation. My faith and moral compass determine how I work. Not how much you pay me. However, with that in mind, I will not tolerate manipulation, abuse, or deceit. Prices are set up front BY THE EMPLOYER up front. If I believe the set price is satisfactory, you will have yourself a writer.
-- I currently will only use GURU's SafePay Escrow to help employers earn "Loyalty Dollars" and insure both parties.
