Career paths for writers can emerge in nearly every industry as the demand for clear communication and economical thought is nearly inexhaustible. One writer has recently shown that the resources for careers in writing are always available.

M.E. Sprengelmeyer, a 42-year-old, worked as a Washington correspondent for The Rocky Mountain News, a Denver newspaper that went out of business earlier this year. Undeterred, the journalist purchased a newspaper in a small New Mexico town where he now works as owner, publisher, editor, primary writer and sometimes ad salesman, photographer and deliverer, according to the New York Times.

Though it may be a change from reporting from the Senate press gallery, Sprengelmeyer's paper, the Guadalupe County Communicator, makes enough money for the writer to live comfortably in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, and allows the owner to assign freelance work to his former colleagues, states the Times.

"I covered the war in Iraq and the presidential campaign, and I knew I was never going to top that," he told the news source. "I just wanted a completely new direction."

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the employment of writers and editors will likely grow by 10% until 2016.
