Naw. If I earn some along the way that might be nice, but I agree it could "kill" any passion.

Articles are more my style, but I have a few short "books" in mind that I'd like to mess with.

I did get to travel around the country and watch a few great games and meet some famous people however for me, the act of putting pen to paper is joyful and it does not matter if 20 or 20000 people read it. It's getting that word out there. The passion that I had for soccer, and writing, was killed by deadlines and editors. <br /><br />Pursue your dreams yes, but do so because you wish to write. Don't do it for money.

On one hand, I want to encourage you to write; on the other, the publishing industry has contracted and barely exists. It's very, very hard to make money by writing. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.<br /><br />(My answer to this dilemma is to write for free and enjoy the intrinsic joy of creating.)Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448998326073079703.post-61045362576289869012016-12-12T21:26:08.183-05:002016-12-12T21:26:08.183-05:00Three words: follow your passion.
