This all started as an off the cuff joke. A friend mentioned an idea, something he was writing, I added a couple pieces to it. We were off to the races, tale as old as time, a third cliche.

I'm a 9-5er who has been in sports sales for 8 and 1/2 years.

A sales trainer once told me, "A man only gets to use an exclamation point once in his life."

I used to write merely as an outlet. After taking classes with Gotham Writer's Workshop, and with Jacob Krueger at his studio, I fell in love with the craft.

I spend my free time creating and trying to think of the next idea. THIS is what I'm going to do for the rest of my life....or until the robots take over Hollywood.

Writing each and every day has become my "exclamation point."

What's yours?

What's sports sales? Big 5 Sporting Goods? GNC vitamins and supplements? Or something totally different?

Welcome to the boards.

I hope you find this place as helpful as I have.

I to, do this to escape the 9-5 (or in my case, 9-5:30 because the boss decided to steal another half an hour from me every day)

Good luck to you with your writing

Quoted from Matthew Taylor I to, do this to escape the 9-5 (or in my case, 9-5:30 because the boss decided to steal another half an hour from me every day)

Good job your boss isn't monitoring your internet usage... he/she'd be adding an extra 4 hours.

Welcome to the boards, Mike.

Welcome again, Mike! :)

Great to see you getting around.
