After retiring from a 25-year career in medical transcription, I decided to put my old forestry degree and undergrad geology studies to use by writing a book on cat evolution That wasn't as easy as it sounded, but it has started a new career for me: writing and science blogging, with an emphasis presently on geoscience and paleontology. I blog at FlightToWonder.com now and am in the process of self-publishing a series of eBooks on the modern cat family on Amazon and Google Books. I am also honing my professional skills by working through the "Become a Journalist: Report the News!" Specialization that Michigan State University offers through Coursera at https://www.coursera.org/specializations/become-a-journalist#courses . I have completed one of the five courses thus far. I recently joined the Society of Professional Journalists, too. My ultimate goal is to freelance full-time, writing earth-science articles and traditionally published books, as well as continue blogging.
