Many people are aware of the concept of “pay it forward.” Maybe you’ve even done it yourself. Here’s a common example. In the drive-through lineup, you buy your coffee and, feeling generous, tell the cashier, “I’d like to pay for the person behind me.” Perhaps that person is so grateful that they tell the cashier they’ll pay for the next person and so on.
So what does that have to do with writing? It’s the motivation for what I do.

The Writer
My first job out of college was at the Courier News, then a 40,000-circulation daily newspaper covering central New Jersey. In a work history rife with nametags and “How may I help you?,” it remains the worst job I’ve ever had.
