Valerie Riese
Content Writer & Editor
Appleton, Wisconsin
What’s on your bucket list?
Visit Ireland. And Alaska. And the Holy Land. And write full time. Not necessarily in that order…
What energizes you about your work?
I get so lost in the research, brainstorming, outlining, creativity, and editing that I forget to eat until I can’t concentrate because my tummy growls so loudly! I love everything about the entire creative writing process, especially that I get to do it for a purpose bigger than myself.
The career advice you’d give your younger self?
Yield to the creative process. The Vomit or Scribe method from Scribe Media freed me to write like total crap for the first draft. After I hurl my ideas out on the keyboard, I then clean it up before anyone else catches whiff of the stink. People tell me the end product is pretty good, so I’ll keep embracing the barf.
