Trying to make it as a writer is hard, but it is also completely worth it. If writing is a passion of yours then you should try and make a career out of it. You may sometimes be writing about things that don’t interest you or working late into the night to meet a deadline but what you get in return is the opportunity to follow your dreams and perhaps work for yourself.
Working for yourself comes with countless benefits. You can have flexibility with your time, including waking up when you feel like it (though perhaps not if you have a lot of work to do) and attending that midday yoga class. You could even work from anywhere in the world!
However, it can be tough. There are some things you can do to make it easier, such as using a plagiarism tool, which you can find on this website. This will help you when you are doing work for other people.
You may be writing your best-selling novel, but in the meantime, you need money to live. Researching and writing on behalf of other people can be a great way to do this, but you need to ensure that you do not write anything the same as someone else. This can easily be done if you read something and re-write it you may have a particular phrase stuck in your head. This can lose you clients and stop you getting work.
Although you may have flexibility with your time as a writer, successful writers are usually strict with it. They get up and go to bed at the same time every day. It is also good to set a certain amount of time for your work and a certain amount of time for other work. Be disciplined to get the most out of your time.
Successful writers also have healthy habits. They might meditate, exercise and eat healthily. These are keystone habits, by putting them in place they will have an impact on other areas of your life. It will make it easier for you to be productive and get things done.
Another good idea might be to read something enjoyable before bed. This is much healthier than watching TV. It may be hard to motivate yourself to read when you have been doing so all day at work. However, reading something you enjoy and will keep those creative juices flowing, ensuring that you still find time for yourself.
If you only write in your spare time and have a job separate from this then you should still follow these habits where you can. You should set time aside for your writing and be strict with it. Do not wait for inspiration to arrive, it may never come! Take yourself away from any distractions, make sure you have everything you need and sit to write for a set amount of time.
Decide what your goals are, stay organized and keep a routine. But also make sure you leave enough time to socialize and enjoy life! Take your time bringing new habits into your life and don’t put yourself down if you fail, just start again the next day.
No one is perfect but we are all capable of pushing ourselves to do the things that we aspire to.
