You can sell your writing, if you take writing seriously. How?
- Live Writing: View every aspect of your life, everything you see, or hear, or do, through the lens of writing. “Would this work? Or this?” Some leap out, like the woman who said her favorite place to play as a kid in Nazi Germany, “was on the unexploded bombs.” Even if an idea doesn’t seem obvious…
- Keep A Compendium of Ideas: Write down every possible concept or idea because you never know which one, or two, or three of them, separately or together, might trigger a piece. Come up with at least one idea a day for magazines you want to work on, or in general. Ideas equal money.
- Learn the Basics: Study magazine or website basics where you want to publish–type of article, length, type of writing–and write queries or pitches.
- Write Every Day: You must. If you don’t, the hullaballoo of daily life will snip your writing threads and, later, your brain will need time to sew the threads back together. That’s time lost you could have used to write every day.
Produce at least 500 words a day. What’s better? 1,000! And, aim toward publishing. Write a query letter or an article. You’re a writer. You can do it. Every bit of your writing makes you better. Constant writing leads to writing easily, well, and prolifically.
