Intro

I'm Brandon Sneed. I wrote the book The Edge of Legend, I'm a journalist for GQ, ESPN The Magazine, and ESPN.com, and I edit HeyGoodCall.com. 

I live for great stories—finding them, telling them, living them. This is a running log of all that. It's a great life. (Read this, my short take on why stories are all that matter.) 

Keep up with me on Twitter and Facebook.

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

| Print ArticlePrint

"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.
