If I won the lottery, I'd go back to school for the rest of my life and get a degree in everything. Lately I've been thinking more about writing, so that could be something I'd do as an alternative career.
Fiction or Non-Fiction?
I like to Dabble in my writing... alas, I have to work.
I like non-fiction a lot. Some of the best writing I loved as a kid was long form stuff for lay people about technical topics, like Tracy Kidder's Soul of a New Machine: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HG4W9W/
I'd love to write the Community Management version of Tom Limoncelli's book for sysadmins, something like that. -

Started thinking about it, but haven't put pen to paper yet. I have the sketches of an outline in my head.

I've been writing stories for years... I'll start them... and then put them down... or get bored with them and push them aside...
I've completed maybe 2 stories (Fantasy / Fiction) over the years, lol.

No. I have thought about it. My Pops has published several books via Smashwords (they do all of the major ebook folks, and can do print as well, I believe).... It's the Whispering Pines Series by Charles E. Wells (http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Whispering-Pines-Book-ebook/dp/B005TJ2PNW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1449611750&sr=8-2&keywords=Charles+E.+Wells)
