 INTRODUCTION

It's hardly an easy feat to become a novelist. One must

practice and work hard to become a novelist. Many writers
may be said to be authors, but few of them know how to
become writers. The designation "artist" is just a name; it
is all the hard work and dedication to gain this position
that really gives the artist the title.

Between the fantasy of becoming a writer and the truth of

being a writer is a major difference. Knowing how to
become a successful writer is going to do one of two
things: make you want to write more or do something
else!

CHAPTER ONE

THE REALITIES OF BEING A WRITER

The answer is always the same. They step back, their eyes
open, and say, 'Wow,' when I tell people that I'm a writer.
It must be exciting! 'There's a cache to be a blogger.
Photos of long scarves, relaxed lunches, lines full of
wisdom and wit when looking out the window. Many of
you have a novel or a short story, a script, or a play half
completed in a drawer. The writer's life should be such an
exciting life compared to the accountant, teacher, boss, or
financial planner's nine- to five drudgeries. It has to be so
high. It needs to be so quick. It wouldn't be cool to be a
novelist.

The dream of becoming a writer and the truth of being a

writer vary enormously. Certainly, there are many facets
of the writer's life that are wonderful, fun, and exciting.
But it's important to be conscious of daily aspects if you
want to make a living as a writer.

REALITY ONE: It's work to write and treat it as one. It is

one thing to write at times or in your free time and look
out of the window. The role of the professional writer,
however, is to compose. Just as the teacher's job is to
teach. The only way to make a volume of material,
whether it's posts, poems, short stories, or whatever you
want to focus on, is to place words on a page. Your novel
will only be completed if you put words on the paper.
Every day. Every day. Every day you place words on the
paper just like the nurse goes every day to work.
Often, if you give your writing credit if you think it is work
and it is worth calling it work, it is easier for people who
believe they can do it free of charge. Since creative artists
sometimes don't like what they do and do not have
defined criteria, they should be glad to write for love and
not for money. Skilled authors are paid. Through their
words, they make a living. You must give your words the
same weight as you give their work to people with so-
called 'true' jobs if you want to become a successful
writer.

THE BOTTOM LINE? If you wish to become a professional

writer, deal professionally with your writing. This does not
inherently mean that you have a lunch hour and two
breaks to write eight hours a day for five days a week. The
creative process is never regimented like that! It does not
mean that writing should be a chore, something you 'must'
do. Yet, it takes an effort to compose regularly. It is
important to think of writing as your work.

REALITY TWO: can be written lonely. It's you and the

paper, or you and the computer screen most of the days,
or it's just you if you have a writer's block. Stuff that many
authors love can be very quiet. But what if not? What if
not? If you don't work well alone or have a hard time
motivating yourself, it will be difficult. This is especially
true in the early stages before you get an editor or
development. How do you and your job go forward?

THE BOTTOM LINE? Find out how best you do as a writer.

If you like background noise, go to a café to compose. If
you need another person to set your deadlines, enter a
community of writers where you must present your work.
There are so many contact and interaction channels in this
era of social media. You can find other writers via
Facebook or Twitter. Go to Alltop.com, read other blogs of
the writer, and leave feedback. There are no reasons for a
writer sitting alone in a room these days unless he wishes.

REALITY THREE: It's not that easy to make money at it.

This is mainly due to the fact that so many authors

compete for the same slice of pie. In the world, there are
so many more authors than publishers, film studios, and
theater companies. It makes sense that only a few can do
a lot with their fiction. Certainly, there are authors who
are writing that one of the bestselling books ends up on
the Oprah list and is set for life. But for years, there are so
many others who work. What if your book is written and
no one buys it? What are you going to do when the
imagination of becoming a writer meets the cold hard
reality?

There are important questions that you have to ask

yourself. So, why would you like to be a writer? The more
you can describe your priorities, the easier it will be to
take a step by step approach to achieve those objectives.
It circles back to how writing is viewed as a work.

Another big question is: how do you measure success? Is

the quality or quantity of your writing successful? In the
single reader, or in the millions? In small or large income?
Do not be modest; the more frankly you respond, the
easier it is to identify your objectives.

THE LINE BOTTOM? If you can imagine doing something

else in the world, you should probably go. Still, engaged?
Define the priorities. Specify the importance of
performance. Define why you want to write for yourself
and what you want to do to become a writer.

REALITY FOUR: Success does not come by sitting back

There is this other notion that you have your job finished,
whether you have a publisher or an agent or a contract.
There's someone else to do that for you; you don't have to
sell your writing. You can sit back and live the dream that '
the artist 'is. And sure, there are one or two or three
authors out that level. The rest didn't. Again, it's so many
authors; only that time, the pie is the audience for the
same piece of pie scenario.
You have to take on marketing duties if you want to
become a professional writer. You have to be able to sell
yourself. No one else knows your job as well as you do, no
one else loves your job so much as you do, nobody else
can sell it as you do. What would place your writing above
is whether you take the steps required to make an
audience aware of it. Let an audience read your message.
You have so many to choose from; why should you stand
out?

THE BOTTOM LINE? Ask if you can market yourself? No

other age had such open self-marketing and self-
promotion instruments. Write a blog. Write a blog. Keep it
up to date; nothing is worse than an unfinished blog. Make
yourself open for interviews. Your interviews. Conduct
your own interviews. Build your writing process YouTube
videos. Twitter your method and have it labeled so you
can find others interested in writing. Place your website
with a newsletter. Learn how to use all technologies of the
21st century for your benefit. Don't sit back and wait for
another person to do the job.

IN THE END, learning how skilled authors are to become

nuts and bolts will do one of two things: make you want to
write more or do something else! After all, becoming a
writer is a glorious career. There are a passion and a
strength to exchange words with the public. You will
become a good writer by finding a balance between
passion and daily nuts and bolts.
 ROLE OF READING IN A WRITERS' LIFE

Reading plays a critical role in everyone's life, but it is a

lifeline for a writer. If he or she is not interested in reading,
a writer can not develop his craft. Then why should
authors be a voracious reader? This is why authors have to
read a lot.

1. To increase the vocabulary

2. To keep their mind always buzzing with ideas
3. To keep themselves informed and updated
4. To recognize the done to death topic and avoiding
it
5. To help identify the shortcomings as a writer

To increase the vocabulary.

A writer must read to improve his vocabulary. A good

author will always keep a dictionary with him to learn the
meaning of new words while he reads. With the
development of vocabulary, a writer can better express
himself without competing for words and phrases. Even
with common grammatical errors, he or she would never
go wrong. Reading other authors lets a writer learn fine
writing techniques. Writing is an art that constantly
requires improvisation. If you don't know what to read,
you should start with your favorite author or genre. If a
writer likes science fiction, he must read the writers' books
that have published novels about science fiction.

To keep themselves informed and updated.

It is vital for a good writer that he or she is knowledgeable

about any particular subject – whether it's current or a
feature. He or she should be able to speak about any
subject and then write about any subject. Reading allows a
writer to do so. Reading not only teaches and updates
others but also inspires a thinking process in a writer –
concepts that become an idea for a writer to write about
it.

To keep their mind always buzzing with ideas.

Writers who are voracious readers hardly ever face the

formidable writer's block as their minds are always full of
ideas. Yes, reading is a good solution to the writer's block
dilemma. Writers face the block when words struggle, so
they pick up a good book with the favorite drink and find a
secluded corner to read when they face the popular
author's block. Writers would be very helpful because the
writing process offers a necessary break, and the hungry
mind is fed up.
To help identify the shortcomings as a writer.

Reading other authors gives a writer an insight into

whether he or she is incorrect or why his / her writing
doesn't produce an adequate answer, or why publishers
choose to deny it. It also helps to learn the fine nuances of
what works best in this kind of writing. Reading other
authors' works often allows a writer to take a fresh look at
a certain subject.

To recognize the done to death topic and avoiding it.

Sometimes a writer typically writes without adequate

research on the subject and reads no material available on
the topic and, thus, they wonder what went wrong when
they are rejected. Reading allows a writer not to be there.
If an author wants to write on a common subject such as
dating, he or she should read all the available written
material on this theme to see if there is a different
perspective, and if the answer isn't, the author should
avoid this theme.

HOW TO WRITE (EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO)

Both authors don't feel like writing at some point. Maybe
before you sit down, this feeling comes. Maybe if you're in
front of a page or computer. Perhaps you have a writing
method you want to pursue, or perhaps you have a novel
you're planning to write, but the last thing you want to do
at that moment is to write for some reason.

This is normal. It is natural that writers don't want to

publish. This reluctance is also followed by a sense of
remorse or shame. We have an idea in our mind of what a
writer is supposed to look like. We know that we should
write, we know that it's good for us, or that it's important
to do it. Even if we understand this, we still don't
compose, or do without passion or joy, dragging our feet.

Writing must not be this way. This way. Every time we sit
down to write, the process can be complex and lively.

This is a guide to how to compose if we don't like it.

If we build a map for ourselves when we feel this way,

we're more likely to write even if we don't want to. This
map allows us to come close to writing with vibrancy and
momentous energy.
Only a word at a time. Starting on a blank page can be one
of the most exciting aspects, but one of the most daunting.
It is easy to imagine at this point how our writing process
looks, how writing flows, how our energy is expected to
feel about the project. However, we must bear in mind
that writing occurs one word at a time. I love the story
Stephen King says in his book On writing on how he writes:

"When asked, 'What are you writing? "I always say, 'one
word at one time' and the response is always ignored, but
that's all it is. It sounds so easy to be true, but look at the
Great Wall of China if you want: one stone at a time."

This is a valuable perspective to bear in mind during the

writing process, but particularly if we do not want to write.

And if we put a word on the page, progress is progress. Set

an objective to write a phrase. Sometimes when you put
the word down, another one follows, then another, and
then another one. Begin with the first stone.

Get physical — handwriting. There's something unique

about writing on real paper that wakes up the muse with a
favorite pen. Writing by hand makes it possible for us to
connect to our inner urge to compose.

By writing by hand, we are much more physically active in

writing. The words come across our bodies by feeling the
tin lands on our paper, feeling the curve of "g" or "y," the
curve of a "s," we gain momentum and energy for this
process.

Let your body lead you to your own specific rhythm while
writing by hand. Confide in this yourself. Confide in your
inner voice. Trust your body. Trust your body. Trust in your
writing process.

Write about the fact that you do not want to write. When I
write about my own resistance, I had some of my best
breakthroughs with writing.

Start by writing: "I just don't want to compose ..." and

leave there. There is a reason not to write under the
surface. Often if it is an individual conviction, we have or
are exhausted and have to slow down.

This is a chance to use resistance periods as a time to

explore. To explore your own method, use writing. This
will provide you with an insight into what your soul needs.
Plus, you'll compose simultaneously. Win

Set a target for a word count and set a timer. This hack is
not fresh, but it works. It works. Take your phone, decide
on a time frame, set a time frame, and start.
You will kick into gear.

A variant of this is to find music and mix songs that last as

long as you want to compose. If they begin, don't put your
pen down or raise your fingers from your keyboard until
the music is made.

If you want a word count target, give yourself a handy

thing, and see where it takes you. Tell yourself, for
example, and you will write 100 words and do nothing else
before you do it. You're going to write 100 sentences.

Change your location. Change your location. Go to the

coffee shop, the bookstore, the car, and the park. Go
wherever you're attracted to and write from there. We
can get into resistance patterns when we are in the same
position. We can be distracted quickly.

By combining our place, inspiration can be revealed.

Changing the place means writing, but it also means seeing
our writing with new freshness and vitality.

This will also encourage people to observe who can be a

great motivator and an inspiration to write characters,
dialogs, and different scenarios.

A fresh and interesting approach to interest and curiosity.

When you go to write and take action by changing
locations, the intention is heavy, confined, and heard by
your muse.
Fake it. When you don't feel like writing, play a game with
yourself and say, "What is the writer that I'm trying to take
with you? How'd she got close to writing practice?

Enable your body to obtain these responses. Take your

perfect self-writing stance. Take the process of thinking
and approach it would have had.

By embodying the attributes of who we want to be,

something changes internally, and we get new energy to
compose. This will sound as if we were acting, but our true
power and potential shines when we start writing.

What you see as your perfect self is not just you; she is
you.

Mix the genre up. If you feel like you don't want to write,
change the type or shape you write. If you write prose, try
to write a message. When you work on an essay, strive to
compose poetry. Try to write dialog if you've been logging.

We will see our work differently when we change the

shape or genre. Often the new writing motivates you to
write, but it is also a part of the project for which you are
struggling-either simply fitting in or helping you see a new
path.

It's the most appropriate time to compose if you don't

want to compose. If we are immune, we also have a great
opportunity. Experiencing resistance is to touch something
alive and vivid that can frighten our ego. When our ego
itself is afraid, resistance is increased.

Be good to yourself, slow down, and write from the

understanding that your great ability resists.

Write with curiosity — recognize the resistance that comes

from your ego — and welcome your brilliance to move.

It's going to be for every word you write. Think of every

word you write as a weight that your lively voice raises
when you feel resilient. Soon, with each word, the
brilliance of your creative self-eclipses resistance.

CHAPTER TWO
ENCOURAGEMENT FOR WRITERS WHEN AGENTS OR
EDITORS SAY NO: TIPS TO KEEP GOING WHEN
YOU'RE REJECTED

Writing is an enjoyable experience. Writing is also a company

for publication. Sometimes, if a writer does his hardest, the
desired outcomes can not be obtained by industry
professionals. Some writers prefer to be Indie writers or
published themselves so that their reputation and their way to
publication is in their hands. Others consider the advantages of
conventional publications, such as stronger ties, higher
marketing budgets, and a market that can be more lucrative. It
may take time and patience to be published traditionally. Here
are a few encouraging reminders to writers if you do not get the
results from agents and publishers that you like

1. Understand that it is a big achievement to compose and finish

anything. Celebrate what you did, even as you struggle to make
the next step in the publishing process.

2. Know that agents and publishers are rulers, but also human
beings. People are people with views and interests. Just because
an agent or publisher doesn't like or suit to show or publish
your book, it doesn't mean that your book won't find the
perfect home anywhere else.

3. Readers are agents and reporters. Not all readers enjoy many
great books. That's no less awesome for them.

4. You are ready to learn more, but believe in your own work
and stick to what is most important to you in the history of
yours.

5. Being friends with other authors allows both to learn more

and to inspire.

6. Read what you enjoy to recall your book enjoy.

7. Express yourself to keep your imagination alive in another

creative way.
8. Write to me something. Try a poem or a brief story. Don't
show it to anybody. Don't show anyone. Or, share it with
someone who's gushing about your writing. In any case, you're
free not to be judged by agents and editors.

9. Know that the answer is no from that agent or editor at the

moment. It doesn't mean every answer is no. Keep trying. Keep
trying. Or take advantage of the new publication and self-
publishing options. Only understand that the outcomes are
possibly different and that both you and the writer will be the
advertiser.

10. Seek the assistance of an experienced specialist if you need

it. This may be for writing tips or competent editing services. As
a writer and editor, I helped others fulfill their dreams of
representation and publication.

HOW DO FREELANCE WRITERS OVERTAKE

PROFESSIONAL WRITERS?

There are people who claim that a job is to go to the office

of some of the familiar businesses early in the morning.
People might ask you: Where are you working? The name
of your business would help them to understand whether
or not you make a successful income. There are businesses
that pay high wages, and at the same time, there are
businesses that never pay good wages. It is hard to clarify
to someone that online writing is your bread and butter.

An individual who asks for your job may put the following
questions to you: 1) Who do you write content for? 2)
What is your pay in writing? 3) Which approach are you
using online writing to make money? The conversation
between you and an interviewed person will proceed with
questions like that, and your responses will still not satisfy
him.

It is also the case that authors with honored titles operate

in large offices that never receive good pay. On the other
side, there are authors doing self-employment and
receiving a decent income. This is the case for writers who
only write for cash, and the more they write, the more
they receive. Freelance authors write about various topics,
while professional writers write about particular subjects;
freelance writers, therefore, add more to their expertise
than a professional author.
Professional authors receive a fixed monthly wage, but
freelance writers don't get a fixed income and have the
chance to make money online by working online rather
than by a professional writer. Making money online than a
professional writer allows freelancers to work for
customers around the world for longer hours and earn
more. A freelance writer is also busier than a professional
writer since he knows how to add money to his account
every minute he works.

HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF YOUR

FREELANCE WRITER
Effective communication is rounding the globe. Let's face
it-wars began because world leaders lack diplomatic skills.
Corporations have struggled in the corporate world, and
alliances have broken due to inadequate communication.
To make a business work, yes, you have to connect very
well with everyone with whom you come into touch.

Your clients, clients, staff, staff, and even your competition

need to connect. And if you boot someone out of your
shop after a heated argument, it always needs a perfectly
good reason!

If you can say communication is "king" and a higher rank

than "content," all the great content of the world won't
mean anything if you can't speak to your audience. The
same lesson applies to a freelance writer or an SEO (
Search Engine Optimization) writing business. You will
have to outsource some of your publishing, marketing, and
SEO duties to a specialist company if you are the website
owner (or work together with a website owner). Many
freelance writers are in a professional company that can
produce posts, copy, and web content for you.

Explaining Your Vision

You will be asked to provide guidance on your project

when you decide to order an SEO or a collection of articles
for SEO or an article marketing campaign. This includes the
article word count, article themes, the content direction,
and the writer's style or "voice." One of the most common
problems we see in the SEO industry is that the customers
demand too much from the SEO company (and rightly too)
but are ultimately misled by the end result because the
"vision" did not suit.

If the consumer pays for a number of things or an eBook,

he or she has certain hopes. The customer also trusts that
the SEO company (and the freelancer working on the
project) has the same vision of the finished product,
assuming that they receive top-quality SEO services. Good
work is a good job, right?

Unfortunately, this is exactly not how it works. Your vision

of a completed project may not be the same as the vision
of an individual writer of a completed project. A writer
must use his own imagination to create the message. All
these writers, however, have very different types,
approaches, and experiences. This results in multiple
changes to what you would term a "good career."

From his own view, a freelance writer tackles a new

assignment. The writer can only create a project in
accordance with the guidance you provide and the type of
material he/she previously written.

The writer will, therefore, approach the project with a

variety of preconceptions, some of which may be
deceived. Let's say you're trying to market a business for
web hosting. The writer could approach the series of
articles with one of these preconceived ideas, which in
general are not "evil," but maybe quite mistaken for you.
For instance:

• A difficult sales strategy that inspires readers to

purchase, purchase, and buy!
• A selection of technical posts targeted for web
users with expertise
• Posts of general interest to newbies hosting their
first website
• An objective series which raises interesting
questions and provides detailed answers
• An edgy male voice to appeal to the young male
population
• an emotional voice that stirs readers' emotions (or
"heartstrings")

You must understand that any sentence you DO NOT give

a freelance writer gives a little more leeway to interpret
your general instructions in any way he or she sees fit.
Therefore you can't be too shocked if you say something
like 'choose your own subjects' if a freelancer heads in the
direction you're not personally glad about.

You can't be surprised if a freelancer talks about problems

which you (or your intended audience) find uncomfortable
with if you say something like, "I want an edgy voice and
controvertible stuff ..." If you tell an SEO company that the
word count or keyword usage is left to the discretion of
the writer, you may be confused by what is going on
because it is meant to be "more" or "less."

Be Specific ... Too redundant is nothing!

Therefore, we at SEO urge our customers to be precise and

send us information to avoid misunderstandings. There's
no "too redundant" issue. If it's that important to you to
get a density of 3 percent, say it three times. In all caps,
place the declaration or bold the words. We're not taking
offense to highlight it. We would like to know how
relevant you have this information!

We don't claim to "know" about what to do, because

every month we work with hundreds of clients and they all
approach their companies in a very different way. What
makes sense (in terms of online marketing) to a web
hosting company could not be useful for a used car lot or
restaurant.

Know, a writer's experience of writing a variety of SEO

papers can be very different from your marketing and
research experiences. You just know the research you did.
In order to express your message, we invite you to share
this research with us and tell us what you think works and
doesn't work.

Are there subjects to be avoided? Will there have to be a

big keyword problem addressed? Is a comprehensive
discussion of the main problem more important than a
range of topics? Make these problems clear as soon as you
order the SEO kit and contact the SEO write company first.

One valuable recommendation to bear in mind: guide the

freelance author to current samples or "live" objects that
can be used as a reference. This helps the writer to follow
the same examples as in the sample given if the author is
in doubt.

The secret to effective web marketing is proper

communication. You owe it to the audience and to those
for whom you work. Effective communication is how you
get from your freelance writer what you want. If
everybody is on the same page and the instructions are
scarcely "interpreted," there would be less difficulties in
achieving a common purpose.

CONCLUSION

Many aspiring writers I meet feel that if they can only get
their article to a publisher, the publisher will see the
importance of the work and will sign it to some form of
contract. Now, this is rarely spoken by the author, but the
dream twist is obvious when they get their first rejection
slip.

There is almost an inherent romantic concept that the life

of a writer would include a secluded cottage with a direct
hotline to be visited by its editor. In general, the view from
the window is a lake or the sea with a sailboat in the
window. Besides the laptop, notepad or typewriter is a cup
of tea or coffee. The author's hair is beautiful, and a deep
sense of calm exudes as the author finishes his work on his
last masterpiece.

True writing also occurs when your children find

something different to contend with, or when you just
have to do something else, or when the phone is ringing,
or even when everyone else ends up driving away to sleep.

The inspiration needed to write can take a lot of emotional

energy. It is difficult to recognize if the hard work seems to
be dismissed, often impersonally.

An author's journey is also very personal and, at times,

lonely. A local, regional, or online form will greatly inspire
a writer and provide practical guidance from others.

You should use market tools to scan different publications

in your own type. Work on a story tailored to your paper,
revisit the first draft, add the contents and continue
revising them and, if you are willing, find someone who
also offers documentation of the material and truthful
input on the content and style.
