If you think becoming a full time writer is all about typing words onto a page, and nothing more, you’re missing the literary boat.
Writing every day makes you a better person. Seriously.
Writing, whether fiction or non, is 80% psychological, 10% skill, 10% practice.
Anyone tell you any different, and they’re lying.
It takes a vision for your future, determination to undertake that vision and true grit on the days that the writing comes about as easily as walking through Flanders Field mud as the WWI bombs are dropping all around you.
How Canadian physician, Lieutenant-Colonel Jon McCrae, managed to pen In Flanders Fields amid all the blood and death and filth and rats and bombs is anyone’s guess. Think of Lieutenant-Colonel McCrae when you decide to moan about your writing day.
