My main job is as a night receptionist so I get to work on the laptop at night. I spent 2006-7 trying to buy a bar but couldn't raise the money, it's actually quite a creative process trying to raise £200,000 from nothing and I think it kicked me back into that mode. I really don't miss bars and it's a wonderfully free feeling not to be tired all the time. Wow, that rambled on a bit, notice how i cleverly changed the focus to talk about me? it's a bad habit. I'm really happy that you're on the way and doing what you need to do. I know you always talked about wanting to write. Go for it.

It's been a long time since I've put together publishable material, but here's hoping I can shake the cobwebs off using this blog. As much as I like computers, it isn't in my heart anymore. If I don't make headway into an alternate path now, I don't think I ever will. Thank you Joel, that really means a lot to me especially coming from you.

I’m so very happy for you. I think identifying something that you love doing and doing it is as important as it gets. I’m also proud of you, as your friend. I think it takes a lot of guts to be willing to go against the grain, and to even consider leaving your career. I want to encourage you to go for it. I look forward to reading your work!!
