From his spelling of punctuation, I think we need a complete overhaul.

I was an English minor. My WRITTEN English skills are much better than my typing. One of my high school English teachers wanted me to go into writing for a living, but I preferred to actually make money, so I got a business degree instead.

There is some good money to be earnt by writers, i manage to make a decent living from it.

^ I have written some article for some newspapers. Most of it was for free, but it was a way to build up a portfolio. I also wrote articles for an Association based in Washington DC. I've got a few short stories I've written over the last 10 years.

I've also corresponded with some well-known (perhaps) authors.

Now that my ego has gotten a brief bounce, I'll go to bed.

What do you write?

I write radio scripts, short stories, poetry, but i write alot of articles to pay the bills. A project i have just finished is a uk weekend breaks holiday brochure, not very creative but it helps me fund uni.

One trick for improving spelling is to use the spell checker one word at a time and remember your mistaches .. it wurks four me.
