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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
