Working full time and trying to write on the side stinks. I love to write and want to put my words out there. Some days, I just don’t have the energy to give the writing as much effort as I want. I am really discouraged, because I read way too much and write too little. I realize now how much goes into writing for income. It is such a mish mash of skill, marketing and hard work.
On the up side, I have completed one of my goals and read the book, Make a Real Living as a Freelance Writer. It did give me a great deal of information. I just have to get my nerve up and start querying more. I have sent out a few queries, but not heard anything in reply. At least if I get rejections, I know I am not just sending letters into space.
I bit the bullet and tried paying for GURU. So far, it is a waste of my time. Perhaps I am bidding too high or I just don’t have the requisite stars beside my name, but nothing. I don’t think I will continue paying once my subscription runs out. It drives me mad, because I fight the tendancy to apply for everything that remotely might interest me just to see if I can get any result.
Now it is back to work, write, sleep…
