So this is week three of my new journey--- yeah, okay, technically week one if we start from the start of New Year's resolution day (aka- Jan 1). My resolution was to make Friday my creative writing day and I've already broken it.
It started at 7 am when I sat up in the bed and realized I hadn't responded to a prospect's request for quote. So from 7 until 9:45, THAT was what I was doing. It is now 10:21 and nearly half the morning has passed my musings by. GRRRRRR.
Why does business have to get in the way of creative writing? Because we have to pay the bills. One day, I will be able to afford the luxury of employees that I can delegate the work to and spend more of my days on my own creative writing, playing golf, traveling, and shopping.
Hmph! Isn't that what all writers say? Oh there are a rare few of us who have made it and can claim an income from our characters and plots, but the rest of us plod along waiting for the day we can live that "Sex In The City" lifestyle.
For those who happen upon this post and are among those fortunate few who are career writers and paying the bills from royalties, how did you get there? How long was your journey to writing for fame and fortune? And more importantly, what advice would you give the rest of us hopefuls out there?
