How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
I prefer email, and keeping the pitch shorter as well as relevant to what I write about. More often than not, I am willing to at least chat.
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
I use Ommwriter to stay focused. Blogger is my preferred blogging platform, only because WordPress got tiring to maintain.
Why did you become a journalist?
I enjoy telling other peoples stories. There are a lot of smart people who need to be known, but aren't willing to yell as loudly as I am.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
No, I did not. I worked on my personal blog.
