If you are serious about a writing career, of whatever degree than you need to enjoy what you are doing. That is first and foremost as that will come through in your writing. Think of the books you have enjoyed reading, do you get a kick out of people who are clearly just going through the paces or writing so robotically to a money making formula you feel embarrassed to read it?What I have taken on in this writing experiment is to enjoy writing and to improve my writing. From there I hope to develop a personal style. I have chosen topics I have an interest in and topics that I have no clue about to test and develop my skills. No doubt I have written some rubbish! Some of my experiments, particularly on the how to site have been somewhat intriguing. You will be surprised what gets hit and what doesn't. Don't believe every intro from people trying to flog you an e-book!
On content I am trying to constantly improve, the balance is between what I may find interesting, what readers may find interesting and is both timely and thought provoking. There have been some real hits and misses.
I got a good shot of encouragement from the editors of HubPages today when they selected a hub (Article) I wrote for a feature. This gives invaluable exposure and the simple reward hey someone is reading. Check out the hub and vote for me if you see fit I would really enjoy that! Thanks for reading.
I have reproduced the email below for you, which includes simple instructions.
