Writing is not the easiest way to make a living. Your work long hours, usually all by yourself. It is not a way to make money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If your purpose is to make money, you shouldn't get into writing.
Being a professional writer is not an easy way to make a living.
The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.
Writing wasn't about making money. I wanted to find fulfillment in writing and telling stories, and that's what's driven me.
I would recommend, definitely, developing a 'day job' that you like - don't expect to make money writing!
Writing is hard work; it's also the best job I've ever had.
Writing is the hardest way of earning a living, with the possible exception of wrestling alligators.
Writing is a creatively rewarding occupation but for me very time consuming.
People say writing is really hard. That's very unfair to those who are doing real jobs. People who work in the fields or fix roofs, engineers, or car mechanics. I think lying on your back working under an oily car, that's a job.
I was always told you're not going to make much money from writing. You can actually do it. Now I've built a really good, big house out of words.
