I want to be a writer?

Assuming that you are here reading this, I can only take it that somewhere the thought of writing for a living crossed your mind. If it did, welcome, if not read on anyway, what’s written here may help you anyway.

As a somewhat of a start up writer myself, I thought I’d document my process here from simple unemployed fool, albeit well educated fool, to what hopefully will be a career as a ‘paid writer’. That being said, on to the grit.

Why writing? Well, it’s passion, it’s enjoyment, its a way to express oneself, create worlds, pass on information, come up with theory what have you. Writing, is I believe to be one of humanity’s greatest achievements, the transfer of idea or thought by putting it down on a piece of paper and allowing someone else to read that idea or thought and perceive it in their own way. But more so than anything else, I would say it’s just plain ‘ol fun.
