Wine Writing for Enjoyment

I have always had a passion for wine, this passion was realised when I had the opportunity of selling and serving wine onboard a large cruise ship. I was initially employed as a bar server and was quickly promoted to a Sommelier, also known as a wine steward.

Here we were required to sell and serve various wines from all over the world to the guests. We were lucky enough to receive great training and exposure to these various wines.

I have decided to continue my passion in following wine and actually writing about it, please have a look at www.squidoo.com/Wine-2 and provide any ideas or suggestions for these writings.....

Writing to share

Writing for the pure enjoyment allows one to express your thoughts and ideas on just about anything. It gives one the creative freedom, that I suppose that which an artist enjoys when painting, drawing or sculpting. It allows one to express insights into the experiences that one has had and share with those that may require advice.

People shouldn't be afraid to write and share their story, as there are people out there that can learn from your experiences and needn't knock their heads in the process.....

Writing for online customers

I currently write for numerous online customers and clients. I cannot help but imagine the destinations and subjects that I find myself writing about. One of my clients is situated in a tropical paradise and requests continuous articles of the region. I have been lucky enough to have been to that region, however after having decided to settle down I feel the need for traveling again, and with a family, including young kids, this won't be a great idea. At least I don't believe my wife would approve.

I have always written either sales copy, or engaging marketing briefs and reports, web content and articles and enjoy expressing myself via the written word; although my creativity does not extend into the realm of fiction and that sort of authoring. I believe my tendencies are more towards the factual and almost technical side.

I also write for an online academic paper source and have recently had a number of cancellations, resulting in lost income - what I find to be exceptionally irritating and aggravating is the vague responses that I receive from the company concerned. The responses don't really make sense, and the administration appears though they actually could not give a damn about the people who are actually writing the papers and providing the finished products to their clients. Perhaps it is only me, but if there is anyone out there experiencing similar events, I would really appreciate your comment or input on this.

Either way I will continue to write and continue to enjoy it, as it pays some bills and allows me to continue with my personal development and knowledge acquisition. Perhaps one day all this writing will assist me in completing my university education. Never say never - as they say in the classics.
