Writing resources and the art of creative writing

Today we will be interviewing professional writer and founder of tumblemoose.com, George Angus. Tumblemoose provides resources for writers. Asked to write a bio about himself George wrote the following: "Back in the early 90's I was fortunate enough to have some articles published in the trade journals of my chosen profession (Emergency Medical Services). I had no idea at that time how important this was. I had a couple of years of successful writing projects and then I got busy operating a paramedic school and I ignored my writing career. If I said we're going to fast forward 15 years then I would be skipping over an entire chunk of my life. It's probably good enough to say that writing was always a tickle in the back of my brain, but I had the unwieldy combination of not knowing how to start laced with a bit of fear. Fear of what, I'm not sure. Success, failure, being laughed at, the unknown, who knows. Most likely all of the above. So, two years ago I started taking hesitant writing steps and over the past few months those steps have turned into leaps. I've been writing web content for a number of sites, I've gotten about 50 pages done on my novel, researched and obtained several freelance writing projects and opened my storefront on the World Wide Web. I've managed to publish several e-Books at Smashwords.com. These are primarily Flash Fiction and they're a lot of fun. I have an ebook on writing over at Amazon.com and I had an article published in Alaska Magazine last year. I have a novel in the works as well as a couple of Children's Books. I live in Palmer Alaska with my wonderful seven year-old daughter Maddy."
