Before I spit out my credentials, I have a confession. After 25 years of
intensive training and experience, I'm still basically a little kid inside.
I love to paint pictures and I love to tell spell-binding stories. But what
trips my trigger is seeing the look on other people's faces when they
like what I've done, when I have evoked an emotional response.
|
And other people do seem to appreciate my stuff. For example, in California I earned some
recognition at the South Bay Mayoral Creative Writing contest (third place, actually). Another
time in Portland, Oregon, a handful of educators awarded me their annual James DeMott
Literary Scholarship. Oh yeah, and I pulled first place in Investigative Reporting from the
Evangelical Press Association while working on a national publication in Chicago.
Winning awards isn't my thing, though. I really care about two goals professionally:
(1) perfecting my craft and (2) communicating effectively. Regardless of the assignment
— whether it's a technical manual for a database company, an advertising campaign,
a government grant or a promotional brochure for a women's group — I consistently
shape my current project into the very best I can offer. During the past two decades,
I've never violated that principle.
