Welcome

I'm Brandon Sneed. This is my blog. It's basically an online notebook where I highlight good writing, storytelling, journalism and other acts of creativity, and explore how such things are made. 

I'm an author and journalist who writes about people, sports, science, nature, and more. I love learning, adventures, life, and stories. I've covered everything from a guy who played Division I basketball while battling cancer ... to golf courses that eat golfers ... to turkey vultures invading a town. You can read all those and more below.

This Song Just Got Me Through Some Writing And You'll Love It

"K's Lullaby" by J Minus. Just did some great writing to this amazingness.

Free journalism tip of the day: Be in reasonable shape. I have no idea the kind of shape I'm in. It's not awful but it's not what it once was. All I really know is that I worked out today with my newest story subject. He's a Special Forces captain. I survived, but I'm tired as dirt and sore as ... I don't know, things that are sore. (Hey. I'm tired. Leave me alone. Because...) He also graciously invited me to join him tomorrow morning at 5:45, at which time we're going for a leisurely four-mile run.

I just hope that pickup basketball has kept me in decent enough shape the past couple months so that I don't hurl/cry/completely sully the family name. 

Yay, journalism.
