Every Writer Needs An Effective System...
Without a system, a method of writing, no writer will ever graduate beyond the level of amateur.
That system has to be more than habit, it needs to become a Ritual. It needs to be internalized and automatic so the writer can focus on the real task at hand. Developing these rituals takes a little time and practice but the payoff can change your life.

Writing For Love or Money...
If you're never paid a cent for anything you write, does that make you a bad writer? Or, on the other hand, if you're paid well for every sentence you write, does that make you an artistic sell out?
No. Of course not. As long as you find writing enjoyable and rewarding, it doesn't matter how much or how little you're getting paid to do it. If you haven't sold anything or don't want to, writing can be a reward in itself. And if you are selling your words, the better you master the art of writing, the better you're paid.
Creative writing is both a form of communication and an art. It's both an elementary skill and carefully trained craft. But whether you're doing it for love or money, it's always rewarding to learn more about the craft.
The articles here should help you on your path to becoming a better writer. Surf around and enjoy. Thanks for visiting the Creative Writer's Desk.
