      <description>&lt;![CDATA[I love writing. Like having to three to four cups of coffee a day, it’s in my blood. But the idea of being a writer for a living never stuck with me. Sure, there were dreams of being a rich and famous writer, but then again, I also wanted to be a police detective, fighter pilot, and rule my own kingdom (that can still happen).&#xA;&#xA;Writing, as a skill, has helped me in my personal and professional life. It’s cheaper than therapy and, as a hobby, helps fulfill me. As a private investigator, report writing is an important skill. No matter how much evidence you collect, your report is your final product to the client.&#xA;&#xA;So instead of trying to be a writer for a living, improve your writing skills, and apply them to whatever career you’re in. Even if you’re working a job that doesn’t require it, be creative. Maybe you might write a training program or something. Good writing is a skill that will help you no matter what.&#xA;&#xA;writing&#xA;career&#xA;selfimprovement&#xA;&#xA;a href=&#34;https://remark.as/p/ernestortizwritesnow.com/writing-has-never-been-a-career-option-for-me&#34;Discuss.../a&#xA;&#xA;!--emailsub--&#xA;]]&gt;</description>
