About a Writer - Writing Blog Launched By New Year

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Welcome to www.aboutawriter.com

About a Writer is an aspiring writer’s blog. It doesn’t really exist quite yet, but it is scheduled to be redesigned and launched by the beginning of 2009.

About a Writer is my professional blog. It is about–you guessed it–writing.

What kind of a writer am I? Well, as it turns out, being a writer means being many things: a researcher, a marketer, an editor, a storyteller, a wordsmith, a business professional, a networker, and nowadays an SEO, copywriter, and social media expert and analyst.

I wanted to be a writer since before I learned how to write–four or five years old, I would say, (but you can ask my mother). I was a master of “Make Believe” and I was never more popular than in those magical years between 1st and 3rd grade.

What I have chosen to blog about is writing: writing as a profession, as an industry, as a marketable skill, and as my personal dream.

I write professionally now as a business writer, but my hope is to finish my first manuscript by March 2009. In this writing blog, I will writing about that experience in addition to sharing what I know about writing as a craft.
