You want to be a writer, huh? Well, let me tell you, it’s not all sunny rainbows. In fact, it’s more like a roller coaster ride with a few unexpected twists and turns along the way.
First of all, there’s the struggle of actually finishing what you started. You might have a brilliant idea for a thriller novella, but when it comes to actually putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), you find yourself hitting a wall. It’s like trying to climb a mountain with no gear – it’s not impossible, but it’s definitely a challenge.
Or maybe starting it is easy for you but there’s the dreaded climax scene. You know, the one that ties everything together and makes your readers gasp in awe. Yeah, that one. And I am currently trying to get mine right.
For me it’s like solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded – you know it’s possible, but it feels totally impossible.
Now, let’s say you’ve managed to finish your masterpiece. Then, comes the fun part – finding your voice. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but once you’ve found it, it’s like hitting the jackpot. Your writing becomes unique and distinct, and people can’t get enough of it.
Wait, and there’s more! Now you have to find time to actually write. It’s like trying to balance a dozen eggs on a single spoon – it requires skill, patience, and a lot of trial and error. You might have to wake up earlier, stay up later, or sacrifice some of your social life to get those words down on paper.
And if you thought the writing part was hard, wait until you get to the marketing.
It’s like trying to sell ice to Eskimos – it’s a tough crowd, but with the right approach, you can make it happen. You might have to get creative with your social media, attend book signings and events, or hire a marketing team to help get the word out.
So there you have it, folks. Being a writer is a wild ride, but if you’re passionate about it, it’s totally worth it. Just remember to keep pushing through the struggles, find your voice, make time for writing, and don’t give up on marketing your book. Who knows, you might just become the next Stephen King or J.K. Rowling.
