Description
SUMMARY When I discovered I could get paid to do what I loved doing - writing - it was one of the happiest days of my life. Walked into my local newspaper at 17 and walked out with an assignment. Made $5. A few years later I won a job interview in a poker game and switched careers to advertising. Now I write just about everything for everyone, from SEO-driven web copy to a ghost-written book for an investment guru. And I still can't believe my good fortune.
