A - Z To Build Freelance Writing
A is for Attitude.
Freelance writing, any writing, is an art. It's also a job when done properly.
The most important attribute for a writer is the same characteristic of all successful creators. Attitude.
Hi Ernie Boxall, a member of The Working Writer's Club and budding writer. If (when) I am recognised as a working writer it will be after fifty years of putting words to paper. I began in secondary school aged nine when we were in English Composition class and were asked to write a story.
I remember it still as an "Swallows and Amazons" type tale which took on a life of it's own, so much so that the lesson was extended over four periods for my benefit and twenty eight pages completed. The teacher's remarks are still relevant " if Ernie could concentrate on the rest of his studies like he does with writing, his overall work would be excellent."
That was always my problem as a youth (or longer) my inability to focus on anything other than:
Soccer Girls Travel Training My business Since the age of 16 I have written spasmodically, before setting my pen or computer down and concentrating on something else. Now, thanks to necessity and The Working Writer's Club I am in the process of becoming a writer. My attitude has changed, along with my circumstances to a place where a part of my day is now taken up with submitting articles, tips, information and just plain connections into print.
So, there we have it..the importance of Attitude..remember Writing is like any art, any job.It's Easy:To do badly.

To do well takes dedication, planning and structure. It takes Attitude
