Enter the Writing Business
Edie Roones
How do I succeed at writing? Most answers to that question focus on creativity ~ story development, character explorations, poetic contemplations, blogging topics, and more.
Refine the question ~ How do I succeed at the writing business?
Even our refined question can be divided into several.
These are the first decisions to build a writing business.
Think of writing as running a small business. Writers create content ~ stories, poems, blogs, any of our writing. That content is our product to sell.
As creators of quality products, we have a Writing Biz.
Now, imagine a writing career. What is the reality? No, not the fantasy. What will the actual day-to-day writing life be?
Daily writing requires that we find ways to cope with the soul-suckers who interfere with your creative energies.
Enter the Writing Business offers the reality of the writing career, the daily creative process and the daily devotion to writing. We look at the necessary writing space then the essential hard and soft skills. To succeed, though, we need a business plan designed for writers. That biz plan will direct our daily actions, weekly plans, and monthly reviews and previews -- the Do’s that few consider until swamped by the constant Do-ing of them.
