In the Begining

At the age of fifty I made a momentous decision. I wanted a career change. Not only a career change but a complete change of direction. I used to be a Project Manager, a job I enjoyed yet a career I fell into rather than chose. I now wanted to do something I chose. I looked at my life and concluded that I had spent my life writing and rather enjoyed it. I also wrote stories and poems to entertain men friends, and biased as they might be, they enjoyed them.

I applied to Ruskin College to take their English Studies course. This career change included an apprenticeship; learning the technical aspects of writing as well as the creative ones. They accepted me and I am now a student there: my writing has already improved!

Today, at the beginning of 2010 I have decided to start writing this blog. It will include my progress as a writer and some pieces I have written for you to judge my progress. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I am.
