My name is Justin P Lambert, and I am a freelance content marketing specialist, a copywriter, a ghostwriter, a speech writer, a poet and an author of genre fiction. So basically, I am firmly entrenched in the wordsmithing world, and can't imagine a better place to be!
As a commercial writer, the bulk of my work is designed to help my clients speak clearly, efficiently and effectively to their target audiences. Along the way, I blog routinely at my commercial site, http://www.justinplambert.net, about copywriting, public speaking and content marketing lessons I've learned along the way.
I tend toward genre fiction in both my short stories and my novel work. Primarily sci-fi and fantasy, although some other interesting themes occasionally surface.
My poetry is almost exclusively what I like to call “speed poems” meaning I’m not agonizing over a space or a comma. I’m dashing out a first draft as fast as possible with a goal of crystallizing a particular moment in time or a feeling. Then, if I look back at it at all, it will be to decide if it makes the cut or not. I’m not going to edit, I’m not going to polish. Maybe I’m wrong, but I feel like that sucks the life out of a poem. If it does make the cut, I save it and will eventually publish it.
I’ve also written quite a few essays under the general topic of Timeless Principles. Basically, these are musings on living a better, more fulfilling and more successful life through basic, time-honored, common sense principles for living. Although I’m a very religious person, I’ve tried hard NOT to make these essays religious in nature because I don’t feel this is the proper format for religious writing. But, you’ll probably recognize many of these principles as appearing in your holy book of choice. That’s not because they’re religious, per se, but because they work.
All in all, I hope you find something of value in what I write, because it sure is a blast to get it out to you. Enjoy!
