AC Money Finder for Writers

Michael Grisso
Its been a long day sitting in front of that screen, typing away, trying to say everything through your fingers that is surfacing in your mind at the same time. Then a distraction hits you and throws your rhythm off completely, the fire is gone, and somewhere in between you start wondering why you're even doing all of this in the first place. Are you chasing a dream? Are you being realistic? Are you now talking yourself out of what you love to do the most? Trying to answer all these questions at once becomes overwhelming and the strain on the subject has made you weary. Its time for bed.

While sleeping, your subconscious feeds on everything that was questioned a few hours earlier, and soon the thoughts of failure have brought on tossing and turning, grinding teeth, and if you're married or involved, an irritated spouse. The J.O.B. has shown its ugly face, picturing you working with no motivation, the clock feeling as though its moving backwards, and feeling the breath of your boss as he/she is always over your shoulder. Then you're parasailing and you wake up.

Thats how it happens right, there is always one piece that never belongs, but seriously writers like us feel this at times when the blockage sets in or rejection waves right in front of you. It just shows that we all need help at times, and one of the things thats great about AC is all the writers that have passed through my articles, left comments (when they are working), and snuck in my inbox since the end of 2006 is we all seem to work with each other. So with that being said I think its my turn.

I was going to make this a keyword densified (if thats a word) article, but I figure people will start passing it on so I won't have to really worry about that at all. A question I want to ask is; How many of you are trying to make money writing? How many of you want to find somewhere that can help you do that without costing a dime?Find freelancing jobs? Help getting your books published? Poems? How about just some good information?

Thats all this is, to point everyone that needs or wants help, in the right direction. You can register for the forum and if you are looking for freelance work check out the thread that says Paying Writing Jobs where you can have a long list of applications to fill out depending on how much you want to get involved, and of course your interests. If anything it will point you in the right direction, and we can work on those dreams moving forward, more efficiently, and I had eggs for breakfast this morning.

    Michael, Thanks a million for the tip and even more for keeping it interesting. Loved the end!! Cute! I may even consider eating breakfast because of this interesting article. lol. But I will definitely check the link you gave, and be back to read more of your writing. It's very easy to see why you are favored by so many- now, myself included. Thanks again! : )

    I skipped breakfast, maybe that's why today my brain isn't functioning well. Tomorrow I will have another excuse. Ha Ha

  • Melissa Carole3/16/2008

    I am by no means close to being a professional writer. I wish I had more time to study up and write about the things that interest me. I enjoy reading everyones articles.

  • Vicki3/13/2008

    I had oatmeal for breakfast =)

  • Michael K. Miller3/12/2008

    Thank you, Michael. I will pursue this. My problem (among many .. smile) is not that the Muse no longer speaks to me - She won't leave me alone long enough to finish Her last request of my time. (That's the story of my life with flesh and blood women, too.. smile. But usually in that context, there is more than one Muse.) Anywaze, Always... Take care, Michael

    I really enjoy your writing!

  • Sophie3/3/2008

    Thanks for the information. I'd love to earn a full-time wage from writing. I'm not there yet though.
