I am an artist. A creative. A free spirit who was simply not thriving in the traditional corporate world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since making that decision, I've been fortunate enough to follow my passions of writing and filmmaking. I have wonderful clients who I write for on a freelance basis; one of which, CarGurus.com, is a profitable start-up I'm proud to be associated with. In a little over two years of working for them, I've published over 700 auto-related articles, all of which can be viewed &lt;a href="http://www.cargurus.com/blog"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other writing work has been published by Q View Northwest (examples are&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.qviewnorthwest.com/contributors/travis_griffith.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) and Relief Journal (examples are &lt;a href="http://www.reliefjournal.com/author/travisgriffith/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the film side, I'm involved with a local production currently shooting the second season of a Web series. The first season can be viewed &lt;a href="http://www.manoutshow.com/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. I've also written a feature-length movie script and am in the process of producing several short films.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps my proudest accomplishment so far is my published children's book, &lt;i&gt;Your Father Forever&lt;/i&gt; (buy it &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Your-Father-Forever-Travis-Griffith/dp/0974019038/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1299260757&amp;amp;sr=8-3"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; or see my author profile &lt;a href="http://www.illuminartsllc.com/blog/travis-griffith/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.) It was inspired by the birth of my son and published in time for a second dose of inspiration from my daughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I've completed two novels and am in the process of searching for literary representation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deciding to work for myself and pursue my dreams not only saved me, it has defined me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that you know a little more about me, is there anything I can do for you?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2810787041222479919-4036853184057444559?l=travisgriffith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://travisgriffith.blogspot.com/feeds/4036853184057444559/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://travisgriffith.blogspot.com/2011/03/in-january-2008-i-did-something-that-i.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2810787041222479919/posts/default/4036853184057444559'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2810787041222479919/posts/default/4036853184057444559'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://travisgriffith.blogspot.com/2011/03/in-january-2008-i-did-something-that-i.html' title=''/><author><name>Travis Griffith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10524367329828257837</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
