Business Writing


Welcome. The purpose of this site
is to showcase my writing in its various forms.

Here you will find samples of my writing:

  • articles
  • Copywriting
  • Business writing
  • excerpts from non-fiction books
  • excerpts from fiction books
  • poetry


I am a writer, although that may seem self-evident and an almost redundant comment.

I am also a public speaker and broadcaster, with 8 years behind the microphone of various radio stations and numerous speaking engagements (including conference presentations, speeches, tutorials, seminars, and workshops).


Spider on the Streets

The little Buddhist
legs lotused below,
his silken rug strung,
patiently waits for food
to fall into his bowl


Punctuation

Simple punctuation changes can make a world of difference. Have a look at the following:

Love is where you find it. Love is where? You find it!
Woman, without her man, is nothing. Woman: without her, man is nothing.

(the second sentence is from an unnamed English professor who demonstrated punctuation to his class).

So you see, punctuation can change the entire meaning of a sentence. That's why it's important; because it is so very powerful.

Creativity is as essential to life as oxygen
