I have a short essay up over at The Nerd Daily about my decision to try and be a writer later on in life and about all the catch-up I had to play for that to happen. There are many paths to writing, but the one piece you can't avoid is reading. And I wasn't … Continue reading Starting the Writing Journey…late
