Quick Writing Tip #3 Invest In Yourself

Posted on | June 23, 2010 | No Comments

If you’re reading my blog, you probably want to make a go of this writing thing. Since I’m titanically unqualified to advise anyone how to make a career of writing, I’ve been observing writers who are qualified to comment, and I’ve noticed a few things. One of the big things among successful writers is their willingness to invest in themselves. This doesn’t necessarily mean paying for a writing/synopsis/query writing course, but it does mean that they are willing to invest time and of often money in becoming better at what they do.

I chose to do CJ Redwine’s Synopsis Course. It didn’t cost much, but it’s money I could feasibly have spent on pie. Instead I chose to invest in my writing career and improve something in my writing life I’m not all that good at.

It doesn’t matter what you invest in yourself (although I recommend both time and money if you can), as long as you do it. It will be worth it.
