One day a manic-depressive man woke up and realized he was going to be a professional writer...but how? In two-hundred days of daily blogging, he found an answer that worked for him.

Introduction
I remember it clear as day, as if a switch had been turned on in my mind and I wrote that first sentence of the first day: "I'm a writer" in a hastily constructed Blogger blog, then titled it "by David Barron" because it was the first title that came to mind. I sat back and tried to figure out what that meant. Two hundred days and over sixty-thousand blog-words later, I knew, and still do. Within these blog pages, you'll get a taste of that journey, a complex narrative path between know-nothing to no worries. Along the way, I tracked my fast-cycling bipolar disorder, learned to spell-check and submit my own writing to markets, figured out how to write and publish in this new world of publishing, came to terms with (and then wrote down) my batshit insane dreams and at the end? I got the girl.
I've made a full table of contents because there are a few ways you can go about reading this. For best narrative purposes, read it straight through, track my quadratic manic-depression against my linear learning track. For best research purposes, jump around through the genre and business articles. For maximum fun, jump around through the articles with crazy titles. However you go about it, you won't be disappointed. What else would you expect? It's all by David Barron.
A writer who, by all accounts, is having a wonderful time doing what he loves.
