Most people have an image of authors living in mansions, sipping drinks and being served by staff. That is just not true. The stark reality for most authors publish or not is that you have to work hard, very hard.
Making a living as a writer is not easy. For most of us, we have to hold down a job, take care of the family, cook, clean etc. While faithfully honing our craft.
Now it is a known fact that when you sit all day in front of the computer, it is not considered work even if you toil on digital media until the wee hours of the morning. At least this is true for my family.
It wasn't until recently when they actually saw me in action that they realised what I have to do each day to get my novel publish.
For those who have finished a novel I commend you. WELL DONE. If you are considering writing a novel or have started one, please take note that:
- It takes dedication
- Commitment
- Perseverance
Writing fiction doesn't mean you will be living it large. It simply means you will be doing what you love while living.
Until we meet again,
Just Write
