A friend presented me with a writing job, and THEN I decided to turn it into a business. I soon learned that the idea of the business was more appealing than the actual work effort that was involved in propelling it forward. I balked. I procrastinated. I feared success. And while I still wrote occasionally, it seemed easier to offer my work in trade, or "gratis". My Take My Word writing business was just that: I gave away my talent. I took a non-writing part-time job to pay the bills, though in reality it gave my subconscience permission to let go of my writing time. <br /><br />Now, after five counter-productive years, I have a new perspective. I let my original FBN expire and now I write under a new handle: My Word Is Gold, to give value to my work and resurrect my resolve. Stumbling upon your website today gives me "hope". My new goal is to work hard at my writing, find the means to support my passion, let go of the part-time job that distracts me and pursue this dream to the end.
