Do you adore the process of writing? Are you happiest when you are in your writing room creating a book, fleshing out a story or revising something you wrote? Maybe you are contented, but you still yearn to make it big as an author.
Have you ever thought about how your life could change if this happened?
Look at some of the big name authors—in particular, those that seemed to become overnight successes with their first books. Now they are wealthy and popular, but imagine how their life has changed. No longer are they free to sit quietly and write what they want. There are constant demands being made on their time. They have responsibilities toward their readers, fans, publishers. They must live up to an image that has been created and they have a percentage of critics to go along with fans.
Sure they can afford to travel, buy things, move into a lovely home with a view. But do they still have the freedom to do that writing that once brought them so much joy?
I want to let you all know that I’m going to have the comments aspect of this blog turned off due to an extremely high instance of spam messages coming through. I am scheduled to do some traveling soon (some for pleasure—some for work) and it is especially annoying to have to spend time either while traveling checking and deleting thirty to eighty spam comments per day or hundreds of them by the time I get home. Occasionally, I get a legitimate comment—I love it when you comment—and that’s why I go through all of the comments that come in so carefully—so as not to miss yours.
From now on, however, I invite you to contact me through one of my websites or my email address. Comments will be closed—at least for a while.
