Work

I am putting real effort behind using my writing skills as a job.

I am rather frightened of this because I keep getting told that I cannot make a living off of my writing. But I think they are wrong. I know I can make a living off my writing. I know I am that good. Maybe not my fiction writing right away. But I still intend to keep up with the book.

I am terrified that I will not have enough money for rent and bills this month, or next or whatever, but I am trying. And that is all anyone can ask of me - even me. I am NOT sitting on my ass. I am writing. Hence, this. And I am working towards a real 'job' in my writing career which should help pay some of those bills that are frightening me right now.

As for the fiction book itself, I have drawn up a list of what is going on in each section, and I think this is helpful. But I am writing chapter by chapter over again, adding in and taking out what needs to be where. It's a large job, but I hope that I will be more on course once it is done.
