Hello everyone
Yes I am a beginner to Freelance writing but wanting to learn
I'm from Milton Keynes in the United Kingdom retired from
life but itching to start a new one with pen and ink

Any help would be great fully appreciated in coming months
and getting to know you would be even better.

If you've never worked as a writer before, why not start with a blog? Generally I don't recommend freely hosted blogs (like Wordpress.com -- as opposed to the self-hosted version at Wordpress.org), but it could be a good way to try your hand at writing in the niche. It could also serve as a portfolio piece for clients later. And you'll get to network with others who are interested in the niche that way -- letting you know if it's a good market for paid writing or not.
