I am hoping to turn my interest in writing into a career.There is a distance learning course online and they teach you to write and sell your work.I am hoping to do this course and become a professional write.I am worried if I have the talent though and if at 52 I am not too old.

I also have an interest in campaigning for causes close to my heart and have joined a political party.I wonder if I might be able to forge a career in this direction too,providing I can find health and stability throughout my physical and mental health.

Does anyone think it is worth following these dreams to see if I can make them come true or do you think it isn't going to work out.In my eyes it is nothing ventured nothing gained.So many do succeed when they are actually being used by the system to perpetuate it and are actually crap at what they do.I feel I can contribute something genuine, unique and worthwhile so why not give it a go?
