Charlie McIntosh’s Summary

I love writing. It's what I do best.

The idea that I can someday write and actually get paid for it is extremely fascinating to me. Call it a goal, a dream, or whatever you like; I have to put bread on the table somehow.

So for the past couple of years, I've been trying to make the best out of my ability to write. I maintain a blog via WordPress.com, I help with UTM's the Pacer by writing news stories, features, and editorials, in addition to having editorial authority over the Technophile section of that paper.

The point of all this isn't to just learn about my craft and improve my abilities in the journalism market. I'm also building up to something more in this trade. If that means ending up working for a newspaper, magazine, or online publication, then that's fine by me. As long as I can keep writing, I'll be happy...
