I Make Money by Writing on the Internet
I still can’t believe it, either, but it’s no picnic
I’m a writer. I don’t yet make all of my income from writing, but I’m heading there. Every month, money appears in my bank account, from a few different sources. I take it out and pay actual bills with it.
Right now, writing is my part time job. It’s a lot of work, but the actual work part of it is the least of my worries. It’s a breeze.
I’d probably get more writing done if I quit my job. But that leads me to a dilemma.
I’d like to quit corporate life. I like a lot of my coworkers, don’t get me wrong. But some of them drive me up the wall. If you’ve ever had a coworker decide to eat salmon and boiled eggs at their desk at 10 a.m., you know what I mean.
If you’ve ever had a coworker try to corner you in your cubicle and scream in your face, you know what I mean. Those things should come equipped with escape ladders.
Sitting in my PJs and writing, in comparison, is so nice. The skill didn’t come easily, sure. I spent 15+ years and many classes honing my writing and research skills. I’m still not the best writer around, but that just means I’ve got so much room to grow.
