Nicholls Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I couldn't agree more when you said that it may seem easy, but it's actually not.I am currently studying Journalism, and honestly, this is SERIOUSLY hard work. It's true, anyone can write, but not in the same way as creative writers (and journalists, hehe) do. My professor said, and I quote, "Everyone can write, but we do it the right way." Some people may think that it's foolish to study on this field, but I say that they're just underestimating the craft.When I was talking to a famous writer here in our country, he told me that writing is learned OVER TIME, not overnight. I definitely think so, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosa Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Although I am a fluent English speaker I sometimes doubt myself of the possibilities I could accomplish in wrting. I think that doing a creative writing course would be a good way to increase my potential and also give me the confidence I need to trust myself whenever I write.

Traveler Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I do some of these things, mostly freelance writing and e-books. Indeed, it is not as easy as it seems. I've written two novels and numerous articles. One thing most don't realize is that being a writer is usually a minimum wage job. Most people think of Hollywood, TV, or Newspapers/Magazines when they think of writers. Most writers do not have such glamorous jobs. I'm still a novice. My goals are to get bigger and better writing gigs and to get a traditional book publishing deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chigreyofthenorns Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I write feature articles sometimes as a freelance writer. Although I already have an 8-5 job as a writer for a government agency, I still enjoy writing about the things that I want. Sometimes, I write for magazines and newspapers. Although the pay is per piece, it is still fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muthoni Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I left my full time job to write for a living because it has always been my passion. I must agree that one gets better with experience. I read some of the articles that I wrote may years back and I cringe at all the errors. Writing is not for the fainthearted who are not able to withstand criticisms. It is hard work that pays handsomely over time. Being taught to perfect the art of writing gets my vote.
