You know the conversation starter. It’s the one struggling before the groan, ‘so what do you?’ Depending on how far I want to take it, I might just say, I work with computers. That’s a little misleading and I like to come across as a little more interesting. So I might and do say, I’m a writer. This is a mistake. The answer inevitably is, so what do you write?
Speeches, I say, I’m a speechwriter. There is normally a break at this point. How interesting, some say. Others say, I never imagined someone could make a living at writing speeches. A third group intrigued by the possibilities ask, so who do write speeches for?

Anyone I say, anyone with a speech to give: graduations, birthdays, eulogies, awards ceremonies, business proposals, conference speeches, motivational speeches, persuasive, informative, the list is endless: the job absorbing, challenging and entirely fascinating. I’ll stand up and give a speech on it one day.
