Are you destined to be one kind of writer?

I’ve been a very fortunate writer. The very first article I wrote for my company newsletter – which was the very first article I ever wrote – took off like its pants were on fire and its butt was catchin’. That led to publication in trade journals and contracts to write textbooks and workbooks and such. At that time the closest thing to fiction for me was an entry into a literary competition that was based on an EMS call and it got me an Honorable Mention. I figure, “Yeah, I’ve been pretty fortunate as a writer.”
