Check this blog frequently for timely observations of a wry nature that you can use in your own presentations.

Free-lance Writer: Cleveland, Ohio, United States; Over the years I’ve written in a variety of forms, but they can be divided into 2 categories: writing for the ear (audio & video scripts, radio & television spots, speeches & slide/PPT talks); writing for the eye (articles, news stories, news releases, brochures, ad copy). Writing that is good for the eye may not be as good for the ear. Hence this blog.
