So you wanna be a writer? Here’s the swear on my life truth!

Number 1 

If you don’t write at least every other day then you need to start. Most writers who write professionally journalists, novelists, songwriters, and bloggers, most likely write every day. It’s a difference in behaviors between saying “I love to write” and “I want to be a writer.” If you wanna be a writer you need to have an I write because I must type of attitude.

Number 2

For women, this step is the hardest because some things have to come second in our lives. As women, we often have a lot of priorities like our hair, trying to keep our bodies together, etc. You will have to be ok with not looking your best sometimes. Writing is very time-consuming so you must find a way to prioritize it before anything else. For instance, fitness may be important to you but you may not be able to dedicate much time trying to look like an Instagram model anytime soon to be honest. 😕

Number 3

Turn everything into a reason to write and just make a story out of everything. Like just the other day I was at the drug store and while checking out, I saw an interesting heading on a magazine that seemed like a great topic for a blog post. You can pull inspiration from literally anywhere.

Lastly…

You have to you must be ok with being exposed! If you’re shy but you love to write and want to make a living doing it then, stop it right now. I have always been a very private person but when I started taking writing seriously, I had to really reassess my reasons for being so private.

Write every day, prioritize it, be confident, and be afraid of nothing or no one!
