You send me an email. You tell me you’ve written over 300 poems since you were 16 (in your teenage angst stage). You mention the novel you’ve completed and it’s really good (it really is!!!), and the novel-in-progress. You mention how the International Library of Poetry has published one of your poems. (But, who haven’t they published?)
However, all your work is stored away, hidden from the public eye on a black little disk.
You have one mission: Getting published.

Do you want to get something published? An article, a non-fiction piece, a short story, a children’s book, the great American novel? What are you waiting for? You may be answering that it’s just too competitive. Competition in the writing industry is fierce, no doubt, but many good writers have piles of work collecting dust in a box, sitting in the corner, or in file upon file, tucked away in a desktop PC. You may be one of them, and their problem and yours is not the competition. It’s the approach.

Continuing the previous article, Freelance Writers: 14 Tried & True Ways to Make More Money (part 1):
8. Do a Freebie: When all else fails, this is a great standby.
As a personal example, I recently decided that I wanted to do some work for a local nonprofit government agency (I’ve seen some of their material and it’s not up to par, and I also have several more ideas that could increase their visibility in the community).

I am often approached by clients who have been trying for years to write their own books, but haven’t got anything to show for their efforts except several drawers full of politely (and not-so-politely) written rejection letters.

The way I see it, learning how to write a book is not about you struggling with much of anything at all. If you can talk, you can write. So writing a book is not as difficult as you might think.

A personal communication or a thesis? Once you get inspired you might not be able to stop! These reasons for writing a book might just inspire you. I hope they do.
