Mixing writing and Sweet Science

Picture
The majority of my journalistic career was spent as a professional boxing writer. I've won awards, covered several world championship bouts and written about Hall of Fame boxers.
It should come as no surprise that boxing is used as a measuring stick to my writing. One of my favorite things in boxing is seeing fighters move up in weight class.
I broke down all of my writing levels into weight classes.
Featherweight: Letter writing. Before the internet, often wrote and mailed letters to friends and girlfriends.

Lightweight: As a sports writer, part of a Pulitzer prize winning newspaper in 2006 for the newspaper's coverage of Hurricane Katrina. Received an Outstanding Sports Supporter award from the Gulfport Sports Hall of Fame.
Welterweight: Written for Magazines Alabama West, Black Voices, Crimson and Selma the Magazine.

Junior Middleweight: Wrote 36 E-books exclusively for three different publications. Fifteen were Top 10 best-sellers at Red Rose Publishing and four Top 10 at ARE.com.
Middleweight: Eight print books.

Light Heavyweight: Made the leap to screenwriting. Won nine awards for two screenplays at four different Film Festivals.
