Maybe it didn't rank with the Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta as far as its impact on humanity, but the document I pulled out of my typewriter in November 1986 seemed to me to be my own personal Declaration of Independence. It was a letter addressed to the local publisher of the newspaper company I had been working for as a reporter and editor for the last five years. "I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign my position to pursue a freelance writing career," it said. It thanked my employers for the opportunity to work there and told them that my decision was effective in two weeks. The letter was courteous, cool, and professional. The terse prose radiated assurance, commitment, and confidence. It would be hard for them to argue with, although I was sure they'd try. I imagined them making me offers I couldn't refuse and saw myself rejecting their promotions and raises, smiling indulgently because they simply didn't get it. That was understandable, because it wasn't exactly in the letter. But the fact was, I didn't want more money. I didn't want a promotion— especially if it came on my employer's terms, which would certainly include relocating to another city.
