Writing as a career?
information, writing - - Posted on August, 5 at 6:26 pm
There’s a great deal of discussion going on, on several of my lists (as in the ones I interact on) about setting up group blogs. Must be the time of year, but a lot of people are suddenly keen on picking my brains on blogging.
I’ll share more on blogging (as an author) later, but for the moment, I wanted to touch on something else.
I am a career writer. I am also a passion writer. When you mix passion and career, you don’t work so much as coast through life with the occasional hiccup - for writers that’s manifold.
Writers block, deadlines and lack of work.
Writing as a career isn’t as difficult as most people think - but you’ve got to be both passionate and dedicated. Most of the time its a ’slow’ career - unless you’re incredibly talented, or incredibly lucky (and some argue, BOTH), you’ll always find that you’ve got another couple of steps to take.
Knowing that, I think I’ll write some ‘first step’ articles over the next couple of months. Anything you need to know?
