The blog post for this month is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. I saw this writer video on YouTube, and it was talking about how if you wanted to write full time then just go ahead and do it. I'll admit that working and writing at the same time isn't easy, but I don't think it's as easy as they made it out to be. Or at least that was the impression that I got from it. I would love to write full time because that's my end goal, however, I think or it's best if I have a steady writing income first. That, of course, comes with time and so it seems that I'll have to balance the two until I get to a more financially secure situation. I've heard a lot of self-published writers talking about how they just quit their jobs and just starting writing full-time and somehow it all worked out, but I guess I'm just not there yet. It would be nice to have enough time to do the marketing and promotion that I would like to do, and that's hard to do when you're working 40 hours a week. I admit it is tiring and there's so much to do. When they tell you if you want to write, then write, they never mention all the other things that comes with it. I just want to create stories and publish books, not spend most of my time in marketing and bookkeeping, but I guess that's a gripe every self-published author has. Anyway, it is what it is for now, and I'll make it when the time is right.
Until next time...
