How did you learn about the writing career?

I’m quite fascinated to hear how someone started his career. Here are some of the answers I receive when I asked the question “How did you learn about the writing career?” to the applicants on my post about the part time writing job.

I basically didn’t know anything about the writing career. I just thought that, since this job requires online associate writers, there is a big possibility that it is open for online applications.  Although I may yet to have my first online job as an associate writer, I am very much willing to take this as a new opportunity to expand my writing capabilities.

I am more of a free lance writer but I used to write for school magazines and newspapers. For once, I also became an editor-in-chief for a collegiate paper.  Tough job but very rewarding, seeing everything that you worked for published and read by others. As a beginner, of course, I am always open for feedbacks, be it positive or negative. Receiving comments from superiors or even readers always give me a new learning experience which, for a good reason, improves my writing potentials.

As for now, I do have a regular job. I’m a Product Support Representative. I just want to make my spare time as productive as possible. Having two jobs at the same time is a challenge but what is even more challenging is meeting the demands of both without compromise. And I am very much open for that challenge.
