I have struggled with this question for quite a while. It has taken me the last year to even start writing something down on paper. I just didn’t have the nerve. When I mention to friends that this is my dream they look at me like I am very small or ignore what I have said entirely. I wondered why this was. Was I not saying this with enough conviction or did they think it was a childhood dream and that I was talking about it way too loud.

Ever since I could remember I have wanted to be a writer. The excuses I have used not to write have been many and varied. The previous year I have spent way too much time just reading get rich schemes. They especially captivated me and I had grandiose ideas. Fortunately for me I landed back on earth on my feet instead of my head. Instead I have decided to actually start a writing strategy on my own. No special formulas and no special tricks needed, just write each and every day.

Perhaps one day I can make a living from this. Not sure if that day is tomorrow, next month or next year. But I least I will have finally tried.

These are my writing resolutions:

Practice writing. I believe a writer can be made.

Stop looking at the get rich plans of writing. There seems to be a new one every minute.

Plan a writing strategy and develop some goals

Continue sharing my writing goals

Develop thick skin for the writing rejects. Do not take them personally.

View each life experience as a writer

I am now taking each day as it comes and happily actioning my plans. If I give myself the freedom to write without the million dollar paycheck pressure will I make a living doing this? Who knows – can anyone really answer that question.
