Writing, essentially, involves placing a series of words together to convey a certain message or meaning. Of course, some people really enjoy writing, others do it out of necessity.
Some people are natural writers, others find it a lot harder and have to work at the process in order to convey what they are trying to say.
Some people write for a living such as journalists, advertising and commercial copywriters and ghostwriters for publishing houses, as well as novelists.
Writing requires the use of your brain and as such the brain must be trained to produce written work. There's no getting away from it
The freelance writing market is a growing market to be in. While not all freelance work is glamorous, it is still quite a profitable market. There are careers in proofreading as well as in copy writing. In proof reading, the client will want you to proof a piece of their work.
You will have to ensure there are no mistakes in spelling and punctuation but you will also be looking for grammatical errors as well as those where the flow of the piece is thrown off. In copy writing, there is a large market for those able to write copy for websites and e-books.
In all of the opportunities that are available, education and skill are necessary. Online work means that you work for yourself, but that also means that all of your education, training, and jobs have to be provided by you, not someone else.
Vacancies are available to those who strive to meet the demands of those looking for writers. Providing a good service to a customer once can make or break your career.
Many of these people will talk about how well you did and offer you more referrals than you can imagine. But, if you do a bad job, employment may become tough to find. Work wisely in order to succeed.
The bottom line is that writing as a career can be lucrative for those with talent, as well as those in the right place, at the right time.
Not everyone finds writing easy. Generally speaking, practice makes perfect, so keep trying and your writing style is likely to improve.
