A Desperate Act of a New Writer
Choosing to pursue writing as my main source of income was difficult and the risks are many. Luckily, I have a wonderful support system that allows me to finally take my dream of being a writer seriously and focus all my efforts in this area. However, in my haste to acquire some modicum of financial success, I have leaped before I looked and created an account with hirewriters.com. This is a bit of a cautionary tale that I'm sure other writers may have experienced when they were trying to begin their careers and I thought I would share my experience with those that are interested.

The Best Gaming Console
Some events in your life seem to seal your destiny for many years to come. One such event took place in my life during the 1980's when my father surprised my brother and myself by purchasing us the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). We had played it before at a relative's house, but that does not compare to owning one yourself and playing whenever you want to (or at least when Mom and Dad say it's ok). The fatherly gesture made that day would spark a love for gaming in me that, 30 years later, has yet to let go. Thinking about the time I've spent gaming over those years, I began wondering, what was the best time I had and with what console. For me, this was actually a tough choice between my number 1 and 2 spots, so, because the choice was so close, we'll begin with the runner-up.
