How I’m Really Doing Lately: Vital 3

*awkwardly scoots into the room* Hi. It's been awhile since I last sat and wrote, or felt confident enough to sit with my thoughts and write them out to you all reading this now. I haven't spoken on the phone in a long time (rather more so talks on discord and in text) and I've not been super active on social media in bursts, and it's okay. I needed it.

I had peeked outside the stained motel curtains in exhaustion right before venturing out and spotted rain. It wasn't merely raining, it was actual torrential pouring rain! The kind of rain that overwhelms at the thought of trekking out - not only because it doesn't care to fall straight down, but that it gushes rivers on both sides of the steep road with such a force which I've never seen before. It's exactly the kind you never…

From commercial spots to web pre-rolls or even internal pitch reels, there is a rapidly expanding role of “staff editor” in markets all across America.
