Part Time Writer
Want to Write While Working? Become a Part Time Writer
Writing does not pay well all the time…
Many beginner writers aspire to a successful writing career, but the striking success as a writer does not come immediately. Sometimes it’s a long journey, with a faraway destination, and only the most ambitious and driven people will get there and will succeed as writers.
The road is rocky and bumpy, and a beginner writer can be found in the imposition of not being able to support himself or herself from writing only. Not all the time writing is paying well from the very beginning, and not all the time a good writer can earn enough money to be able to support himself or herself in a decent manner, not to mention when there is a family involved, for instance.
Become a part time writer
So what is the solution in this case? Become a part time writer. A beginner writer can have a full-time job for financial means, and still write in the free time. Surely many well-known writers from all the times did so when they started their writing careers, before becoming full-time writers.
So, you are a writer. You want to develop a writing career. You are ready to be patient and to take it step by step, you are ambitious and driven, you will not give up on your dream to be a successful writer. But you also need to support yourself, and writing does not provide that, at least for now. In this case, you should consider keeping a full-time job which would provide you with the necessary financial means, but in the same time you start working as a part time writer.
How to do that?
Remember, if you want to succeed, you need to be organized. You go to your job, you work 40 hours a week, but you need to focus on your writing too. Establish a writing calendar and follow it rigorously. For instance, set a certain number of hours a week you are willing to dedicate to writing. Either you do it one hour per day, each day; or you set a number of hours on a specific day or days during the week when to write; it’s up to you. But once that writing schedule is established, do not let it go down. No ambition, no success. Take advantage of each free time you have to write. Free weeknights, or free weekends, or holidays – whenever it’s possible for you. People need to know about you as a writer, and the only way to accomplish this for you is to write. So keep writing, whenever it is possible, considering your full-time job schedule, and never give up.
Nobody can say how much it will take to you to become a best-seller writer, because it depends in so many factors, some of them impossible to control. Nobody can guarantee you a specific period of time after which you will be able to earn enough money from writing. But sure enough, if you’re ambitious and if you don’t give up on your dream on writing, if you organize your writing work, success will come, and then you will be able to leave your job and become a full-time writer, like you always dreamed.
