*A brief note: The Tuesday Inspirational blog, formerly called "Freelance writing...from my remote office" will be newly-titled "Some Thoughts This Week." The latter name is the title of the former blog I wrote from 2009-2015, and I feel it better sets the tone for the blog messages to follow. Onward...
I have been thinking lately about my writing career: where it has been, is currently, and where do I want it to go. Truth be told, I wake in the morning to these thoughts, and ponder them when going to sleep. Along with those, my many well-intentioned colleagues and mentors also offer advice on which direction to take, types of writing to embrace, stretch myself in other, perhaps more lucrative areas. I thank them for their wisdom. I have to be frank here. I have always enjoyed writing articles about people and businesses, and doing them for online and print publications, photo taking included. You don't do something since 1996 without, I think, some sort of fondness for it. This type of work, assignment if you will, has always made me happy, kept me engaged. Doing these types of assignments, combined with the love of my family, helped me recover from a heart attack back in 1996 at age 34, and launched my freelance writing career during my disability period. It may be true that income in this area of writing may not rival those of other types and, yes, I occasionally will take on a copywriting or book project, but I have to and will go with my heart.
