Writing Gets You Everything You Want - Proof!
On last week's episode, I boldly declared, "Writing gets you everything you want." This week, I'm giving you some proof of how that has been true in my life.
\u200bYou may already be thinking, "But Ray, you're a writer...of course writing has been important in your career."
The thing is, the proof I'm offering today has nothing to do with\xa0writing jobs. I wasn't hired to be a writer, but my writing is what got me hired, kept me working, got me promotions, and many other opportunities I would not have gotten otherwise.
Okay, enough of the preamble, let's get to the proof...
