Plan to blog my way out of the bog

Hello everyone, I'm a writer who has been bogged down trying to do things the traditional, old fashioned way but events have conspired recently to point me in a new direction. So far, I've been content to be a journalist and business-writer because doing those things brought in a steady paycheque. I've been reluctant to take the risks involved in novel writing, but that's really what I want to do. In my home office, I have a little plaque that contains the George Eliot quote, "It's never too late to be what you might have been." Last week I was dusting and it fell off a shelf and hit me on the head. Then yesterday, afternoon, I received an emailed 'message of the day' it was also George Eliot's quote. Last night my cousin called and told me about John Locke and his book, "How I sold one million e-books in five months." I did a little research and found out that blogging played a huge role in Locke's achievement -- that and being able to write decent books that people want to read. I know I can write decent books, so I'm going to dust off some old manuscripts, write some new ones, and learn about blogging so I can follow in Locke's footsteps -- Lockestep, you might say (never met a pun I didn't enjoy). Today is the first day of a new life for me, one where I will end up being who I should have been.
