This part of the blog is dedicated to my journey to become a professional writer. From little more than a bucket full or enthusiasm and some wild and near-insane ideas I’m going to make a career from writing.

I don’t mind what I write at this stage. it could be online or offline, fiction or non-fiction, articles, reviews, copy-writing, ghostwriting, I’m willing to write anything for anyone. I can narrow down my options later.

Oh, and note the term ‘make a living’. I’m not trying to be JK Rowling or Dan Brown, I just don’t want to be a drain on my girlfriend’s wages.

Every time something happens to help or hinder me on my new career, I’ll write a post. This means that when I learn something my readers can to.

The start of this is going to coincide with the beginning of NaNoWriMo a.k.a. November 1^st 2011. This will start with NaNoWriMo related posts and then branch off into the career focused ones.

Wish me luck.
