The difference between being a part-time writer and a full-time writer is like the difference between dating someone and living with them. Some of the romance is gone, but you learn things you'd never know just by dating.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I haven't always been a writer and I suppose I tiptoed around the idea of writing full time, because it's so isolating.
Unlike a typical professional, I can't quit my job to become a full-time author; I don't have that luxury. For me, writing is therapy; if I choose to write full-time, it might start feeling like work.
I think writing is a part-time career, because otherwise you get a little stale, maybe even self-indulgent, when you have to fill the hours with sentences. I don't think, if I wrote 12 hours a day, my work would be much better.
I'm an author. And writers write books. And writing books is a full-time career.
I think all writers are different. I've been with a few writers; they're all different.
My aunt could never understand how writing could be a full-time job. She'd keep asking when I'd get a real job!
Yes. I am writing full-time. Which is strange. It feels like not having a job.
I didn't think being a writer was a fancy thing. It was a job like any other job, except apparently you could do it at home.
I enjoy writing. Publishing... not so much. I've been lucky to work with some very talented people in the publishing world, and the print industry has allowed me to write full time.
I don't think I would do better books if I wrote full time. I write for amateurish reasons.
