As I was considering the opportunity that sits in front of me (the chance to make a living as a writer) I am reminded of my childhood and how long writing has been a part of my life. I have always been a very practical person and even as a child I considered writing to be a silly and frivolous hobby. Though I loved writing and would spend hours writing stories for my own amusement, it was always with a sense of guilt for the "real" work that would not get done. It wasn't until I was about 13 years old when I discovered a book while on vacation with my family.
"Creative Writing: for People Who Can't Not Write"... It struck me then but even more so today. Writing is one of those things that I can't seem to get away from! I have spent a lot of years assuming that more practical jobs were worth my time and talent but I never last very long without writing. So it is with great joy and perhaps some sense of irony that I find myself back were I started: in spite of my best efforts, it appears that no matter how impractical it may seem, for the foreseeable future, I will be a writer!
BTW, this is one of the few books that I have kept in my personal library on the topic of writing. If you are interested in writing creatively, feel free to check it out by following the link below.
