Howdy y’all. I’m a writer, editor, teacher, and founder of Wordasaurus. I love the written language in all its forms: web, print, screen, and stage. I passionately believe that writing at its best is clear, concise, and artfully crafted.

I studied English Literature at Abilene Christian University and now live in Dallas with my newest permanent editing client, my husband, and a scruffy mutt named Winslow.

Because it seems the only way to save the roses
is pluck the Japanese beetles out of
their convoluted paradise
and kill them, I think for a moment,
instead of crushing them in the driveway,
of impaling them on the thorns.
Perhaps they’d prefer that. »“Only One of my Deaths” Dean Young
