The Journey Starts

I've decided to become a professional writer. That is scary. I will actually have to follow through on that commitment. I feel that I should document the journey though.

I've been making more and more investments lately so I 've decided that is what they are...investments in my career. Over the last year I've:

• Been taking a correspondence writing course
• Invested in writing software including Storymind and Movie Magic Screenwriter
• I subscribed to Writer's Market Online
• I have committed to going to the Writing for the Soul Conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This is a big deal because I am currently living in Japan and the trip is going to cost me upwards of two thousand dollars!

I've actually been thinking about pursuing writing since I got married three years ago, but until these last few investments, I don't know if I really took it seriously. Now it is time to take it seriously. I have a family to provide for and I am sick of being a stay-at-home dad.
