Oops, Annihilation Via Asteroid IS a Possibility
By
Jason Boyett
Back in 2005, my book Pocket Guide to the Apocalypse listed six possible ways the world might come to end via natural disaster. At the top of the list? Killer asteroid impact, which may or may not involve Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck and a weepy Aerosmith song. (Wow. Just linked to IMDB and discovered…
The Church-Hopping Article
By
Jason Boyett
The article on my church-going immersion journalism experiment for Relevant Magazine is now available in the publication’s May/June 2008 issue. The article is called “6 Denominations in 6 Weeks: Diary of an Intentional Church Hopper.” It’s accompanied by a photo of a guy in a white dressing gown (about to be baptized, I guess?) and…
Good Writing: Help Remedies, Inc.
By
Jason Boyett
I stumbled upon a site this morning that offers a great example of the vital role copywriting can play in the creation and marketing of a certain brand. Help Remedies is a funky upstart health products company. That’s a weird sentence to write, because very few people go shopping for bandages or headache pills looking…
Where Can I Find Freelance Writing Jobs?
By
Jason Boyett
Returning to the mailbag question from Wednesday: My quick answer to the question of where to find freelance writing jobs is everywhere. And I mean that. Our is a world of information and content. Despite the proliferation of videos and podcasts and interactive media, the written word is still vitally important. Companies and organizations still…
Proofreaders for President
By
Jason Boyett
Just a quick note: If you’re running for president, and if you’re going to spend millions of dollars to advertise yourself, and if you’re trying to restore competency to a presidency and party that has come to be known as pretty much incompetent, then there is one thing you need to do correctly, all the…

By
Jason Boyett
Another dip into the Writer’s Mailbag. Blogger Sean Brereton asked me some good questions the other day about freelance writing: How do you first get into freelance writing? Where can you find jobs? Does it take a lot of crappy jobs to get jobs you enjoy? The answers:a) It’s a long storyb) everywherec) yes Here’s…
Storytelling: Daniel, Part 2
By
Jason Boyett
Here’s Part 2 of Daniel’s story, which began yesterday in this post. Daniel is a teenage performer with Spirit of Uganda, a group of musicians and dancers (most of whom are orphans) who are touring the U.S. right now as the public face of Empower African Children. Read Part 1 of Daniel’s story. ————— When…
Storytelling: Daniel, an AIDS Orphan
By
Jason Boyett
I’m trying something new on the blog today, and I hope you’ll find it as interesting as I think it could be. I love to share good stories — and storytelling is the foundation of writing — so from time to time I’m just going to tell a (true) story. Today’s is about Daniel. First,…
Early Morning, April Four
By
Jason Boyett
My daughter, Ellie, was born eight years ago today, on April 4, 2000. My wife went into labor around 5 a.m. that morning, and on the way to the hospital, guess what song kept running through my head? It was U2’s “Pride (In the Name of Love),” which famously ends with a verse about the…
Bye-Bye Mugabe
By
Jason Boyett
Good news out of Zimbabwe. It looks like President Robert Mugabe is at least conceding that he didn’t win the recent election. I won’t pretend to know much about African politics — in fact, I know very little — but what I do know is that Mugabe has nearly destroyed a nation that once was…
