You never "make it" as a writer. You can sell a script, staff on a show, have a hit — but then you have to do it again. There's no endless stream of $ or guarantee you'll have a career tomorrow. It's a forever fight down an uncertain road where writing itself is the reward.

Becoming a writer is a journey, not a destination. Like Frodo you leave home with hopes, and after a lot of adversity, you come home having seen some shit. You become a writer by taking those first steps, not after having thrown the ring into Mt. Doom.

"What do you do?" "I talk to myself in different voices to see how it sounds while daydreaming and writing it out." #writers #WritingCommunity #writersoftwitter #writing #writinglife #occupational

Sometimes I forgot that as a fantasy writer I can do whatever I want… I was just struggling to figure out what kind of tree I wanted to describe so I just made one up lol

STOP RE-READING WHAT YOU’VE ALREADY WRITTEN AND JUST WRITE

In Aug 2021 I wrote an essay about caring for my sick dog during my divorce. I submitted it to a series of popular books, one of which helped me feel less alone in that tough year. In 2 days that essay will be on a shelf in a bookstore. I hope it helps someone feel less alone.
