Who am I? Still searching...

I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, where a patch of land by the road is called a 'devil strip,' a vacuum is called a 'sweeper,' and every variety of soda is called 'pop,' where Ohio State football is a pseudoreligion and, of course, where LeBron is from. And, yes, it's a thing in Ohio; when anyone in the vicinity yells "OH!" at least one person will respond with "IO!" no matter where you are in the country.

I am, first and foremost, a wife, mother, and now a grandmother. After being diagnosed with a rare spinal tumor in 2017, I had to re-examine life and adjust to not just being a regular person, but a "person in pain." Lola (yes, I named my tumor) left me with unrelenting neuropathy that is now a part of my everyday life. Still, I have to thank Lola, as she did something no one or anything else could accomplish - she gave me the courage to open myself up and share my writing with others, and to approach life with a different lens: one of taking more risks. I like to think that I was destined for writing and investigative journalism; the joke in my family was that my first word was not "dada" but "why." A significant part of my identity stems from my ability to harness my innate curiosity and use my sense of humor to both enhance my writing and cope with life's sorrows.

The truth is, though, I don't have a writing niche. But I do have a unique ability to mimic various writing styles and techniques, which makes me an effective generalist writer. I enjoy learning and writing about a wide range of topics, and I'm particularly fascinated by people and uncovering what makes them tick, which makes me an effective interviewer and researcher. I am a lover of words and their deeper meaning and I do like a good puzzle. I am also a small business owner along with my husband and best friend of 33 years. Together, we operate an online auction business that helps individuals in Ohio downsize their possessions when relocating. In my spare time, I love hanging out with family and our two precocious dachshunds (George and Henry), reading, traveling, visiting historical sites and waterfalls, hiking, playing word games and reading legal documents for funsies.

Writing for you

Whether fiction, non-fiction, satire, or highly technical, I can write (or learn to write) in almost any style by researching and studying it. I enjoy writing articles and essays on a range of topics, exploring the connections between even the most obscure subjects and how they can apply to the everyday person's life, business, or the world at large. I discovered a natural talent for recognizing patterns in seemingly unrelated things while working in corporate risk management. I view research as a precise puzzle to be completed. My philosophy is to view ideas and people from different perspectives or to use a skill I call "seeing around corners," and I try to express this in my writing, no matter the style or format.

Whether you are a corporate publication or a small business, a rebel blogger or an industry disrupter, I can provide (inexpensive) assistance with writing original content for your website and/or blog. I welcome you to contact me at inktrospectivekim@gmail.com
