I’m not making enough for our family to totally live on, but this economic crunch doesn’t hurt as much as it could! I could definitely get use to this.
How to make my living as a writer
How I did it: I now get to work when I want, do what I want and actually get paid for it. I have the coolest clients and I learn something new every single day through research. Being a writer online is great money and easy to do. I have no formal education for it but I jumped in and it's been successful for me. NEVER give up!
Lessons & tips: Don't let what you perceive as a lack of education hold you back. If you really want this (yeah, I know it sounds cliche) you can attain it and I can refer you to at least one resource that will open doors and help you make money the first week you decide to blog/write for a living.
Resources: "Write All the Way to the Bank" is a book that will show you from start to finish how to start writing, what to write about, find clients and make money writing online.

As my first endeavor for more professional writing then fan fiction about Draco and Harry, I have started a relationship advice column for teens and young adults in blog form. Though it is still pretty unprofessional, it was an easy way to get a start since I feel I give advice to my friends every single day. Please check it out and consider sending in your own questions!
My Fiction Writing class is AMAZING!!! I love my teacher and I feel like I am going to learn so much from it and get some really good writing out of it. I’m so excited and glad to be furthering this goal.
I am in my first TWO college level writing courses next semester. I am being forced into one – ENG 101 Academic Writing and Research – but the other is part of my major – ENG 288 Fiction Writing. Both shall be beneficial to my endeavor to become a published writer!

i love to write stories.
i hate to read.
thats whats so different, i would love to become a writer so others can read what i write ha.
It would be nice…but it’s an incredibly optomistic goal. It’ll probably be on my list for a darn long while before I ever get around to persuing it. Agh. Procrastination.
I recently decided to not double major in Spanish and only major in English with a concentration in creative writing in order to pursue this goal. I realized that I am only passionate about writing and if I can’t make it like that then I will just have to rent out movies to people for the rest of my life. I am also going to study abroad in Wales and do a creative writing internship through my school. Somehow, some way, I will make this work.
I’d love to make a living as a writer. All I do is write. My stories are always romantic… in a morbid sort of way. I find my inspirations from the music I listen to. Such as ‘Black Tape For A Blue Girl’. But my writing isn’t always like that. I’m actually thinking of writing a romance novel that takes place in Salem during the witch trials. [: Totally random entry.
No that i have product or my first magazine completed im confident i can make a living as a writer. Now to just finish my novel and get an illustrator for my childrens books and i should be on my way to retiring!!!!!
