5 Reasons to Become a Writer




Writing is a tough yet fulfilling job. There are innumerable reasons to become a writer. It takes a strong will and a desire, but if you know your motivations and purpose you will definitely succeed. Let's take a look at 5 reasons why becoming a writer is the thing to do.

1. You have a story to tell.

Some of us have led very interesting lives. While your days may not have been filled with roses and smiles there are many people out there who could benefit from your experiences. Not everyone wants to seek help or guidance from other and your writing could help others feel alive. Giving others a glimpse into your life could help them create their own stories.

 2. Earn income with your writing.

Everyone loves a good story. There is always someone who needs or wants to hear what you have to say and will be willing to pay you for it. Many companies will pay you to be their "electronic voice". We are living in the digital age and the best way to reach the masses of by being able to captivate them with words...online!

3. Bring your wildest fantasies to life.

Do you remember that time when you were young and wanted to be unicorn or wanted to be just life Laura Croft in Tomb Raider? Well, life didn't quite pan out that way, did it? The greatest part about writing it that you can be ANYTHING you want to! You can also tell your own story without the world knowing that you weren't always that sweet innocent person you are today.

4. You're not a social person.

If you've always been a socially awkward person writing is definitely the profession for you. There may be an occasional meeting if you're a freelance writer, but you can definitely communicate with others online. The world can still get to know you without having to see your face. Most people aren't satisfied with the unknown. Mystery is always interesting and not showing yourself to the world could draw readers in by their need to know. 

4. There's nothing else you'd rather do.

Your next big story or poem consumes your mind for most of the day from the time you roll out of bed in the morning til you crawl back under the covers at night. It seems as though life doesn't make sense if you aren't writing. The anxious feeling you experience after each word if you're heart telling you that you've found your passion. Feed that passion and it will fill you immensely.

Down by the River

This city, while full of the impoverished and sprinkled with some middle-class families and abandoned buildings has some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. There’s literally nothing to do besides enjoy the beaches and parks, parking-lot-pimp, and walk or ride your bike to hang at your people’s crib. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to do much of either while growing up, and the sheltered life caused deep-rooted issues that I could never get a handle on. My dad was a single parent. His wife, our mom, died from breast cancer a few short years after they adopted us. The area we grew up in was a little rough, but I didn't understand why we couldn't hang with friends or do normal kid stuff. We found random things to do at home, like create court cases. I'd always be the lawyer, and we'd dress Trav up to be the defendant. I remember our favorite character to dress him as was a robust old man who was always caught harassing the neighborhood kids and screaming ...

Therapy: Because Your Group Chat Isn’t Enough

  Therapy isn’t about being broken. It’s about paying a stranger to listen to your childhood trauma without telling you to “just drink tea and pray on it.” The benefits? You stop rehearsing arguments with people in the shower. You learn “boundaries” isn’t a bad word. And sometimes, you cry in a way that feel like cardio. Honestly, therapy is just emotional Wi-Fi. You don’t know how disconnected you were from reality until someone restarted the router. Have you ever worked with a therapist? I was forced to work with a therapist after a suicide attempt many moons ago. It wasn’t helpful. It was forced, and I was broken. So, I shoved my thoughts to the furthest place of my mind. I answered the questions, with intent, the way they wanted me to. 10 required sessions turned into just 2, and I never went back. I got a therapist this year. I told God I’d do the work and trusted my faith to do the rest. It has been an uneasy eye-opener. I believe that many folks don’t go to therapy because, ...

A Christmas Affair

I was almost sleeping when he began blowing up my phone. He called twelve times. Eleven times I hit the red button on my phone. The twelfth time I picked up and screamed at the remorseful voice on the other end.  “Can we please talk?” “Stop fucking calling me! I hate you! Leave me the fuck alone!” ***
