Become a Writer

All your life you've wanted to become a writer . . .

"But how are you going to earn a living?" ask your (worried) family and friends.

It's not that you want to seem smug, but-well--you do have the edge on anyone who's struggled at a 9-to-5 job they hate (do they hate themselves, too?) or, struggled & stressed themselves up the dizzying heights of some boring corporate ladder that, once looking down on everyone else and the great time they're having scuba diving and taking cruises, begins to wonder "what's next" besides, well, you know…

You are SO smart! You've already learned that the way to the good life is to do what you love and the money will follow.

If writing is as natural to you as breathing, eating, walking, talking and sleeping and no flame burns brighter or with greater intensity than your passion to write… then you cannot not become a professional writer who earns a living writing for yourself and others.

Writing for Yourself

Imagine writing a book, publishing and marketing it yourself, and making enough money to buy time to write the second book… and the third! In yesterday's publishing world, this was unheard-of. In yesterday's self-publishing online world, it was also unheard-of. TODAY, however, we are at the cutting-edge of the online book marketing industry. The floodgates are opening, so you might as well be among the first to surf the waves! This is one of my own novels, published by Dandelion Books. Sarah Daniels is my penname.

Writing for Others

Why not share the wealth? If you've learned how to write well yourself, why not plump up your bank account with yet another profit stream from clients who yearn to become a writer just like you. Ghostwrite, book doctor, teach, tutor, create online courses… do all the things I'm doing…and loving.

A writer lives, at least, in a state of astonishment. Beneath any feeling he has of the good or evil of the world lies a deeper one of wonder at it all. To transmit that feeling, he writes.
--William Sansom
