As stated before, next to become thin and healthy, I want…no, I NEED…to do whatever it takes to become a writer. I have been a salesman for 22 years, and though it has given my a living (but not always), it hasn’t let me live.
I found a great article that inspired me the other day. It said that ghostwriting would be one of the hottest careers in 2009. That’s an avenue i hadn’t even considered! I must look into it.
I truly believe, though, that my goal will be achieved through screenwriting. I have 4 or 5 strong concepts, and two that are in the process now of being written.
I have a daily plan of spending at least one hour per day writing. Writing anything! Just to get my mind working, and to develope a style.

Weigh in day!
Drum roll please….
6lbs lost! Not bad! (see chart)I feel pretty good, my energy level feels good after dropping all of the sugar from my diet, and I can feel the excercise starting to take effect. Okay…this thing might work! My wife has started with me this week, and she is a HUGE part of my success this week.
Also, read a Newsweek article that gave me quite a bit of encouragement about a writing career (goal #2, if you remember). It says that it is one of the hottest careers of ‘09!
I need to concentrate a little harder on my sales job, though. I may have a dream of writing, but I have to pay the bills while I dream. I’m starting to feel a little stress because sales are slow (advertising sales), but I am changing my selling style. My trainer said to go with a laid back, gentle approach, but that hasn’t been working, so I’m going to tap into the inner carsalesman in me (I did that for 18 years!), and go old-school!
I feel good today.
