I have written on this blog a few times. A blog that is SUPPOSED to help you earn money through writing. I have written literally nothing that could be considered useful information for new aspiring writer professionals. That changes today.
I know that upon the first impression of me through this blog, you probably would avoid looking to me for advice. Some nobody is trying to tell me how to do my craft, you think. Why should I listen to him? The answer is: You shouldn't.
At least not as an authority on the topic.
Thus bringing me to my first tip.
Listen to everyone and anyone in hopes for useful information.
Sure, you're right. I do not know what I'm doing quite yet. I am actively learning though. I have been studying freelance writing success for a while. I'm excited to get started. I'm hungry for it, and I don't get like this about just anything. So no, I don't have the experience, but i just might have the know how that you're looking for.
My next tip:
Keep an open mind.
It may not sound like something you would want to do, but you should try it anyway. Blogging? Not for you? You should have one anyway if you want to write. If only for an example of some of your writing to show potential employers. There's a job to write romance fan fiction between two T. V. characters and a third party of an undisclosed name?(Yes this is a real job that I saw. And yes, I know that no one in their right mind would pass it up. but for the sake of getting my point across...) Give it a try! It pays right? And you're getting some experience. Even if your goal is not to become a romance writer, it won't hurt.
READ!
Oh this is new information to you is it? You didn't know that writers are also readers? Come on! Writing 101. You're lucky to have me. Read daily, your writing will improve.
WRITE!
I swear, this is necessary. Writers practice writing. Even when you're not getting paid for it. Maybe even especially when you're not getting paid for it. Its just a bonus that its fun. And if you don't think writing is even a little fun, my tip is to look for a different job...
There, the most basic of basics, just for you and your journey. If you already knew and use these tips, well then maybe you shouldn't have judged me so quickly. I obviously know what I'm talking about huh. If you didn't, congrats on getting some fundamentals down so easily. Its like eating your vegetables. Just do it so you don't get yelled at.
