I Was Crazy Once...

What most "normal" people do not realize is that all freelance writers are crazy. I can barely keep track of all the people that have asked me in the last month to help them get started in freelancing so they can earn extra money. The problem is that they think they can sit down and work for an hour every day and earn money and be a successful writer. (pardon me while I laugh hysterically) A few see my success and think that it must be easy since I work from home. What they do not realize is that it is only the crazy people that succeed at this job. Why else would I stay up writing 40 last minute articles in one night? Why would I ever consent to a 200 article project that is due in a week?

I truly believe that to succeed as a freelance writer you have to live on the edge of insanity. People who are "normal" just won't make it in this field because they will worry about working too hard, going to bed at normal hours, and think that their life is an extended vacation. If you are considering getting started as a freelance writer and you think that it will be a life of ease and money then for god's sake man (or woman) DO NOT TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now by now you may think that I am trying to smash a writers dreams. Really...I am not. If it's only a dream...don't bother...but if it is your passion...something you want more than anything and you are willing to work hard to accomplish what others think is impossible...then you just might make it. With enough work...anything is possible! If writing is your passion then go ahead and take the steps to get started in a freelance writing job. Join the ranks of the crazy writers and have the time of your life.

I was crazy once...lol...oh wait...I still am...
