So I decided to employ myself in two jobs. All in the comfort of my own home! The first job is rather menial, but at least I'm getting something for working around my house, creating an internal palace of cleanliness! The second job, unfortunately, doesn't pay me--yet. I'm going to start writing a short story a day and at the end of the week, whichever story I like best, I'm going to perfect them and try to get them published. I hope at least one gets published. I'm not only saying this for myself, but also for the people who happen to be reading who are aspiring writers like myself. Set goals for your writing! Like a short story a day! Choose which one you like best and work to submit it to a magazine or whatever you like. I hope this works out for me. I'm still a baby writer, but I have a lot of passion for writing. In sure you aspiring writers can understand what I mean. I've been writing since I was a little kid. I'm sure at one point you did, too.
One thing I heard from an acquaintance of mine at school is to always write on paper first, then type it. It limits the urges to revise mistakes because you are letting your hand take over. It's easy to backspace and try to revise. That method is inhibiting and I know from first hand experience that is not a healthy way of writing. I hope this helps!
Ta Ta for now,
Alexandra
