Rhonda

Rhonda's writing ranges from a soaking hot spring hike near Mount Hood to her father's eighty eighth birthday in a memory care facility, where old logging stories he now struggles to recall in full still bring him back to himself the moment a song from his era plays. That specific detail, watching a man's dementia loosen its grip for the length of one song, says more than any general post about family could.

A post on writing discipline draws on novelist John Cheever, who wrote every morning in a windowless basement storage room in his one good suit before riding the elevator back up as though headed to an office job. A separate post shares a referral marketing lesson from Dan Kennedy, material Rhonda says is normally reserved for certified business advisors rather than the general public.

A story about hand feeding an injured dragonfly reads as pure, curious delight, included with no larger lesson attached.

Read the birthday and hot springs posts for her most personal writing. The Cheever and Kennedy posts show what she is actually studying to become a better writer and marketer.
