Frontal Lobe

(Professional Writing)

 

 

Freelance blogging, copywriting and journalism are placed not only at the front of the media and marketing industries. They are also at the front of the storyteller's brain. This lobe is responsible for organising thoughts, identifying similarities and differences between objects and events, and enforcing social norms. In my frontal lobe, you will find articles, blog posts and short- and long-form copy. From reviewing electric guitars to interviewing taxi drivers, I examine whatever topic I am given through a creative lens – without compromising the norms of professional writing.
