A Real Job?

Writing can often feel like a lonely and frustrating way to make money. You sit at your desk for hours, writing words that may never see the light of day, hoping that soon, your work will mean something to someone. You only realise that you’ve not spoken to another human being for several hours when the phone rings and you answer it sounding remarkably like Marge Simpson.

To make matters worse, writing can sometimes feel like the worst paid job in the world too. If you’re lucky, you get the odd copywriting gig or small editing role. Sooner or later though, your partner suggests that maybe it’s time you got a ‘real job’. You slowly bang your head against your desk and wonder why you ever thought you could write and make money.
