Welcome
My name is Lauren Hargrave and I am a writer. I have a passion for words and the way a simple change in text can convey a completely different message. A compelling sentence can elicit emotion, prompt action, and articulate a mission and my goal is to get this reaction every time. I am a copywriter, blogger, creative writer and author of articles on topics that range from small business needs to sailing.
My copywriting services include SEO content, website development, marketing copy, press releases, newsletters, product descriptions and Social Media maintenance. As a blogger, I lean towards humor and the irreverent, but I can tailor my voice to meet the needs of your online community.
I relish in the art of storytelling, client service and in finding the right words when others struggle to do so. To see examples of my work, please navigate the inside pages. To get a dose of your daily funnies, please read below. I look forward to working with you.
Figuring it Out
A Blog about transitions and change by Lauren Hargrave
Welcome to change. Welcome to transition. Welcome to Life. No matter how stable we think we are, time has a way of shaking our etch-a-sketch and forcing us to redraw the picture we thought we knew so well. On the bright side, we get a chance to add, subtract and reshape the parts of our lives that weren’t working. On the dark side? It’s a lot of freaking work.
Right now I’m in the process of rebuilding my life. I quit a “successful” and steady career in finance to pursue the tumultuous passion of writing, and this blog is about my process. It includes funny stories, thoughtful commentary, and questions that I hope you can answer.
The Toothbrush
So I woke up recently and found myself in a relationship. If you ask anyone who’s been around me for the past few months, they’ll tell you that it’s actually been a long time coming and probably happened gradually without me noticing.
But what I know is, I went to bed one night and everything in my apartment, save the dude in my bed, was mine. The next morning I woke up and there was a second toothbrush casually left in my bathroom for future use, an extra large sweatshirt and LSU t-shirt in the suitcase moonlighting as my second dresser, a bag of spare clothes hanging from the hook by my closet, and a second laptop lying on my floor.
“Oh my god, I’m surrounded.”
