Make A Living As A Writer Novels & Stories

Q1 How to make money with my fiction? There are only a few things you CAN do in this career: to write, to modify, to publish. When you have an idea but your editor doesn’t like it, your chance of making money off your work is: Not write < write it out and prove the editor wrong with good work When your work is rejected, your chance of making money off your work is: Complain < modify and prove the editor wrong with good work When you receive an offer you don't like, your chance of making money off your work is:

****HYACINTH**** It’s been ten months. After I resigned from the company, I became a full-time writer. I got used to living in a two-story cabin. I have been taking care of the mini vegetable garden. I also rarely go out unless I am out of food. I somehow received a lot of money from the first book that I published. I was happy living life alone, away from social media and people who gave me pain.

It's never a good idea to build a romantic relationship with your friends, and it's a risk that I don't want to make. Talking to Lucas makes me stressfully hungry. I'll find something to eat. I'm in front of the fridge, and there's nothing. That's a writer's life; you have limited resources at home, and you need to have completed them before you get entirely paid. And also, there is a higher chance of rejection.

I live in the worlds that I create. I live for my characters. I live for writing. For the past three years, writing has been the only thing that worked for me. A failed marriage, a failed career, almost dying from cancer and somehow making it. Yeah, I have lived it all and writing was the only thing that got me going after my life practically ended. I shook the sad thoughts off and got off the chair that I had been seated in. It was clear that being around people wasn’t going to help me so I may as well just go back home and try to reconnect with my characters again.

Pulling it out, I glanced at the screen: a text from my editor. “Please tell me you’ve come up with something.” I sighed, dropping the phone fall on the counter as I gripped the edge. Writing had always been my escape, the thing that steadied me when life spun out of control. After leaving the orphanage—a place where no one ever adopted me—I dove into writing full-time. I quickly realized I could actually earn a living from it. That led to my debut novel, His Mistress. I hadn’t expected its success, but by 22, it had catapulted me into the spotlight.

It is an ongoing process, and while we are loving our new home, everything can still be quite challenging and time consuming. I am still working full time, so writing is a part time passion. And it is a passion. I absolutely love being able to put words down on a page and make a story and the characters within come to life. And the fact that I have people wanting to read my stories, is a constant amazement to me and I thank each and every one of you for your readership and patronage.

“But even if I’m deluding myself, I need to keep a little independence to feel so good with you. ‘Cause I wanna be with you, not with your credit card.” “Wouldn’t you like to be a published author and make a living with your writing?” Jim’s smile was one of the most dangerous things Silvia had ever faced. “You could become a professional author and manage your own schedule, spend a season here and the next in your town. Be yourself, instead of keeping the books for some obscure accountant in a tiny office with a window to the building next door.”

Cora shrugged. "Me? There's no way I won't need money," I joked and we laughed. I did have a job, I am a writer, and I do all the kinds of writing there is; Ghost writing, content writing, script-writing, and I write personal books, two of which were adapted into live action. Not to brag, but I am a hot cake writer, kinda famous for my works, and works that people didn't even know I wrote; either way, it was bringing me money and hence the reason why Cora would think I didn't need money. Everyone needs money, Femi Otedola does, Jeff Bezos does, Dangote does, hell even Elon Musk still needed money, so who was I not to need money because I was earning a few thousands? Not me!
