Introduction: Beginning a Crash Course

Writing is not a predictable thing to start doing.  Within yourself and within your writing, there's so many different things that could happen.  Things change, and as you create them, you change too.  I have never seriously worked at becoming a writer, but it's about time that that changed.  It's time to take a crash course on writing.

To begin this journey I have reinvented myself, my name is George Cooper and from now on I am a writer.  George Cooper is a witty thief from a favorite book series of mine, and he is the perfect guise to assume as a reborn writer.  After leaving his thieving days behind, he moves forward as a good man with a crooked smile and a crooked heart.  Good, but still mischievous.  That's how i want to write, good on the outside and just a little mischievous on the inside.  Isn't that how we should treat life?  Isn't that how I should treat my writing?

It's not going to be easy-- nothing really worth while is-- but I'm excited to give it a try.  I hope that you can enjoy this journey with me.  It's time to start a writing crash course, a crash course with Cooper.
