I have always loved writing since I was in my teens. I wrote my first poem when I was seventeen. I have since written and published articles, blog posts, stories, and poems on various platforms over several decades. I write because I love to write.
I enjoy writing fiction, poetry as well as articles on my literary craft, which I have been working on for a number of years. I am not the type of writer who writes for the sake of writing. Writing is my hobby, which helps me to express my imagination and creativity.
My articles are not about how you can make more money or about the best sites where you can write and publish your work to earn more money, or about the moneymaking opportunities for you as a writer, if you want to earn money writing, I would suggest that the best option would be to join a company as a writer, reporter, copywriter or freelancer to earn money writing.
I have seen so many writers, even a Top Writer who uses article spinners/generators to create articles just so that they can increase their monthly income from Medium. I can spot a piece when it is generated by an article bot.
It is almost impossible to look for one writing platform to provide you with your primary income, pay your bills, and take care of your family. It would be more advisable to write on a platform for writers, which offers the writers and creators more opportunities to earn money.
Writing every day is good practice for me. By writing every day on Medium, I am now able to create and write a book chapter almost every day. Improving my writing, by quality and quantity, are my main objectives for writing. I love and thoroughly enjoy writing fiction.
If you are a writer at heart, writing is your sole purpose, you have a passion for imaginative creative writing, then you are a kindred soul and a writer who is also walking with me on the writer’s path. I am always buying books on how I can improve myself as a writer.
I am a writer in progress who is constantly learning about literary craft. I will never be perfect or win a literary prize, but at least I know that I am trying my best to improve myself as a writer every day and in every way. I have listed a few of my writer’s reference books, which are worth reading if you are serious about writing. Wishing you well in all your literary endeavors. It is now time to make writing mastery your life purpose.
