Are you a writer too?
Writing is one of those professions that people seem to leap on. If someone asks what you do for a living and you reply by saying you’re a writer, you will find that the majority of the time, they will say something along the lines of: ‘oh right, yeah, I’m thinking of going into writing.’
This can be really frustrating. It seems that a lot of people tend to assume that anyone can be a writer. But just one look at some blogs polluting the internet tells you that this really isn’t the case.
Writing is a skill. And it’s not a skill that everyone has. There is a huge amount of competition out there, so you must be able to offer something exceptional if you are hoping to make it as a writer.
It’s not a profession that anyone can fall back on and a lot of people will find that out the hard way.
