Maybe that's presumptive of me to think I'll be successful, but I am a good writer, and I will make a living off my writing if I have to bust my tail to do it, because it's what I enjoy.<BR/><BR/>If you can quit your day job, do so. Most people can't. I'm at a place in my life where I can, and I have. 90% of my waking day is devoted to my writing, and when you put that much time into something, you get a lot done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425902919036326796.post-64547792433485325802008-09-15T17:19:00.000-07:002008-09-15T17:19:00.000-07:00You have it 100% correct.

It is almost a downright suicidal attempt to create magic. What makes it worth your while to put the pen to the paper and pour your heart out? The desire to amuse, to enlighten, to take away stress or to teach something to someone else. With other words the joy you can bring and the pleasure it bring to you, the writer. My dream is to be a full time writer who can earn enough money to make it decently, but my reality is that I am still an amateur writer, scratching barely at the surface of literary greatness. So who can tell the outcome, but I know I love the journey!Goddess Bella Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14426093882789291387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425902919036326796.post-6305847426825481322008-09-09T15:57:00.000-07:002008-09-09T15:57:00.000-07:00I never went into it with the idea of making it a ...I never went into it with the idea of making it a full time job, but more with the idea of having a second job/hobby that I would feel very comfortable in doing.<BR/><BR/>The passion is still there and if I can sell at least 10 copies of anything that I write, then that's at least 10 known people who were interested enough in me as a writer to take a chance.<BR/><BR/>And that's all that one can really ask for: a chance.G.

Unless, of course, you are writing about writing about making money!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
