OK, so this is going to be a mini-therapy session for me while I sit and whine to you about all the would-be writers (who like to call themselves aspiring writers) who never write a damn thing.
And then they ask me how to get started or how they can make money from their writing (that they never do).
So first I think I need to get one thing straight.
If you never write anything then you’re not a writer.
You see, you don’t need a college degree or any type of formal education to be a writer. And you can’t get a diploma or a certificate to show that you’re a writer the way doctors and lawyers do.
In fact, the only way that you can prove that you’re a writer is if you write every day.
And you don’t even have to write a lot. Many novelists only write for one or two hours day.
But the important thing is that they do it daily.
And what’s great about being a writer is that you’re no paid by the hour so your writing can go on earning money for years.
And it all begins with writing.
Every day!
So sit down and write, damn you.
