Where to go next?

Unfortunately, I do not post on this blog anymore. I have 4 other ones that I tend to on a semi-regular basis. I guess the reason for this, is I’ve come to the realization that I am no longer “wanting” to become a writer. I already am.

I may not make much money from writing right now, but then again, I don’t really try or need to. My full-time job is taking care of my children, and my writing career is only part-time.

The steps I’m taking right now will only help me to make much more money when I take the step to go full-time (when my kids start school). And it is possible to make money from writing, so don’t listen to those who say you can’t.

Since this will likely be the last post I make on this blog (sadly), I would really appreciate if you all would take a moment to visit my other websites.

To be honest, I never thought I would get so many visitors to this blog because I didn’t even try to bring them here. You all just came, because apparently many people want to become writers.

When you finally decide to take the leap and become a writer, obviously my first question, was “What next?” But the answer to that is so simple. You just WRITE. Growing up, I doubt many parents even gave their children the option of becoming a writer. “Writers only write books and poems,” they probably said. This is so untrue, its sad. Writers are everywhere. They need them in Fortune 500 companies, hospitals, schools, and of course newspapers and magazines.

So where should you go next? Wherever you want. Read through forums, other blogs, and anything that pops up in search engines. Subscribe to writing magazines and freelance bidding sites. The world of writing is unlimited.

I’ve taken the path of creating a couple blogs and revenue sharing sites. At first I was put off by them because it takes so long to build up an income and I wanted to see the money now. I’ve come to realize that 1) I don’t need the money right now.

2) I want the rights to everything I put my name on.

3) Those people and companies that pay you upfront are probably just going to do what you could have done yourself.

By the time I graduate with a degree and start my career, I want to be able to have all this initial writing under my belt. And anyways, I love writing.

The only reason I’m now neglecting this blog is because there isn’t much more to say about my path to become a writing. I already am one and you can be too. It just takes a little convincing yourself.

If you would like to read more of what I have to say on a variety of topics, here are my other blogs.
