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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I write, I make decent money doing it, but I don't wake up dreaming about writing.
I always tell people there's only one trick to writing: You have to write something that people are willing to pay money to read. It doesn't have to be very good, necessarily, but somebody, somewhere, has got to be willing to pay money for it.
Writing is something I can do by myself.
I didn't make any money from my writing until much later. I published about 80 stories for nothing. I spent on literature.
Writing is one of the few activities where quantity will inevitably make quality. The more you write, the better you're going to get at it.
If you become a creative writer with the idea that you are going to make a whole lot of money, then maybe this isn't the best choice for you.
I like the writing life, but it's not something that always makes enough money.
Writing wasn't about making money. I wanted to find fulfillment in writing and telling stories, and that's what's driven me.
If your purpose is to make money, you shouldn't get into writing.
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.
