From "I nearly died" to "I nearly slapped my editor" and only one of those situations have I ever been in (bet you can guess which!)

Since transitioning to more writing than photography, have you noticed that everyone who speaks English thinks they can write, too? But thankfully that's not true, or we would all be broke.

Thanks for your insights, Jerry. I also deeply enjoy writing about social justice issues, and I've had the opportunity to do it a few times. I'm heading over to your website now to check out your portfolio!

Interesting to see how you've changed your business ratio. I have tons of photographer pals from my magazine-editor days, and I know how brutal the environment has gotten. Freelance writers have it comparatively easy.

I'm so happy you reached out, and I'm excited that your guest post is yet to appear (Memorial Day, everyone — please come back and give Jerry some comment love!).

Nice to "meet" you here, Jerry. And like Sharon, I'll be following you on Twitter.

I look forward to following both of you on this site. Have a great day and stay in touch.

Sure puts our grumblings in perspective. I will never say my toughest challenge was spending six weeks with the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico or escaping a buffalo stampede in Washington state. Okay, there's still a chance for that last one. ☺ Great meeting you, Jerry, and I hope you drop by between your travels. ☺

Thanks for sharing your story, Jerry. Following you on Twitter now. 🙂
