When I awoke this morning, hauled my drowsy self out of bed, and lumbered down the stairs at 6:00 a.m. I decided that I need to diversify my writing. I currently focus on novels and occasional short stories, but it is all or nothing with them in terms of making a living.

I have always enjoyed writing essays since my first years in college, and I have a descent background in prep sport and education. If I am ever going to write full-time, I need to tap into all of my skills to build a platform. My writing mind is at its sharpest at night. But, for the next nine months I have to sleep during those hours to give my middle schoolers the best I have to offer. 

Ahh to set my own schedule as a full-time writer.

Stop your laughing (I can hear you through the monitor).  A person can dream, right? That’s probably all it will ever be. Unless…well…we’ll just wait and see.
