When I first started out writing, many years ago, I liked to write but I wouldn't have called it my passion. I dabbled in writing short stories, greeting cards, wrote children's books, even tried my hand at starting a novel. But back in those days there really wasn't much information for writers. The Web was just getting off the ground and information you found you had to either check out at the library, join writer's organizations, talk to fellow writers or publishers, or just wing it. Needless to say, my writing career wasn't much of a career.
Today, the sky's the limit. With everything you could possibly ever want or need to know about starting a writing career sitting right at your fingertips, there isn't much of an excuse not to pursue your dreams. You don't even really need to know exactly what you are looking for when you begin searching, you just have to start typing-in what you are interested in knowing and go from there. Information is all over the web. You can find answers about every facet of writing you can imagine. Most answers will lead you to other topics to consider, other web pages, and other ideas.
For those of you who have always dreamt of starting a writing career but didn't know how, don't let the unknown hole you back. Don't let the fear of "not knowing" keep you from pursuing your dreams. Today, in a world where information is at your fingertips, there is literally no excuse for not learning or trying your hand at your passion.
