Long, long ago I had an idea that I could help small businesses by writing for them. I had no idea how, but I knew I was good at writing poetry, and I felt deeply that my writing could make an impact.
Fast forward to now, and I'm learning the deep art of writing ad copy.
The change you're seeing is me finally finding the seeds of a vision I had no idea how to plant all those years ago.

At this moment, I'm not entirely sure what my "writer's life" looks like, but I have a very good idea of what it doesn't look like. It does not include being "on call," and it definitely doesn't include working holidays, or after 10:00 PM.
I do see my writer's life including being dedicated to delivering top-quality copy to my clients, and being able to do so from anywhere with a quiet space and a solid Internet connection.
I also envision not having to be worried about whether I can afford to pay the bills in any given month. I expect to be fairly compensated for my time and skills.
I also like the idea of researching many different industries in order to help my clients succeed. I love, love, love learning new things, especially science and technology.
I also suspect holidays will be a lot more fun, as I won't be working then.
Last, and definitely not least, I would love to be helping local businesses and charities succeed and help the local community be more prosperous and happy.
Ok, that's more than a hundred words, but it gets across what I'm currently seeing from the outside. Maybe from the inside a bit as well.
Regards,
Dan
