I’m wondering how many of us here having been writing, as a hobby, for years, but, are now serious about making it a vocation. Yes, to that for me. I’m currently involved in six projects. Creating e books. Animal stories. Animals have my heart, so, it’s a fitting subject. For one, I volunteer at the local shelter with the kitties. I will share more about my experiences with animals in another post. As for the books. They’re for older kids & adults. One crime thriller. One adventure. Four fantasy. I’ve also started doing articles. I will share some excerpts of the former & the full of the latter. Even more what I am is, an observational writer. That’s what I’ll be offering the most.
I used to think, other than with books, writing had to be more professional & have a formality about it. Then I became aware that people do pay for a conversational tone. Which is good, since that’s my style, overall. I also make posts interactive. Posing a question or two to engage the audience. Which would help increase views, readership & comments.
Initially I was seeking blog owners who required content. I have diverse interests & am inquisitive by nature. I love to learn about & understand, pretty much, everything. Which means, I could write on most topics. I wanted to build a friendly working relationship with some of these owners. Still seeking that, but, an acquaintance made me aware of Steemit. I thought I’d explore & see how things develop. What type of writer are you & are you starting to make it a career?
