timswords
welcome to timswords … think tim’s words, not tim swords. i’m not coordinated enough to handle a sword. i write words, yes, i know that’s not unique. but i write words about faith, about humanity, about life. and i edit words. i help organizations communicate clearly and practically, and also get creative projects to the finish line. so if you need someone to help you with either of those things, i’m your guy. if you need someone to wield a sword, i’m not your guy.

writing
i love writing words. writing is where i connect with who God made to be. i feel joy when i’m able to express something, even if it’s painful. i also like encouraging others through my words. i don’t want just to communicate something, i want to help people know what it looks like it to apply it and live it out.
i have a voice, and a style in my own writing. i’m an editor who doesn’t use capital letters because it helps my thoughts flow. I know, it’s kind of weird, but i’m okay with weird.
and when writing for people or organizations, i try to bring that clear, practical voice to projects—using capital letters.
editing
editing is like sculpting, you carve away the excess to reveal the beauty inside. i believe in writers and i believe in their voice. i just want to carve away all the things that distract from that voice and the things they feel passionate about communicating.
project management
nothing gets done in life without a deadline, well at least in mine. deadlines establish the priorities. and big tasks get done through many small steps and markers. from editing publications to curriculum, to freelance projects, i have managed both myself and others to get content-related projects to the finish line.
