Heavy Mental started a few years ago to keep my writing fires bright.
Me, less the bullet-proof vest, brown hair and cell phone. Well, maybe with the cell phone.
While I’ve had my share of dull, warm embers when non-writing work has kept me from fanning the flames, I’m happy to announce the following:
I’m a writer*, by profession and not just by inclination.
A long story short, a former client from my freewheeling, freelancing days offered me a senior writing position. So I said yes. Gratefully. It’s not often that one is happy as a clam in their job and another, seemingly more enjoyable (and rewarding) one comes calling. But it happened. And I’m thrilled.
Check out the Tribe at tribeinc.com, and picture a pic of me in Tree Pose, holding a pen and grinning like a jackass eatin’ briars.
Here’s the lesson as best I can discern it:
- Work hard
- Be nice
- Keep in touch
- Keep trying
I’ll post more once I’m actually on that side of the firewall. In the meantime, you (and I) can learn about mah new peeps here: http://www.insidetribe.com/.
