Hello there its Peter here again from

WritersLife.org and coming up today does

money matter when we first starts a

write one of the thoughts up must go

round every writers headies how can I

make money from this that's not to say

that every writer is money driven but at

the same time whether you're writing a

novel and try to get it published or

have decided to pack in the day job and

set yourself up as a freelance writer

many of the decisions about how much

time you can dedicate to your writing

will revolve around the possibility of

being able to make a living from it

while it's true that there is money to

be made in writing particularly for

fiction writers often we have to make a

choice do we want to write or do we want

to have money writing takes up a lot of

time and while it's possible to fit your

writing in around a full-time job doing

so requires a tremendous amount of

dedication even then there are no

guaranteed rewards it's also important

to decide how important money truly is

to you for most writers being published

is their ultimate goal and many writers

assume that if they do get that

all-important yes from a publisher that

their money worries were simply drift

away and they'll be given a considerable

advance and can write about their

stories living a life of leisure

unfortunately for those looking few

reality soon kicks in advances aren't

likely to be enough to retire on and

when it comes to royalties often the

percentage taken from agents and

publishers is so high that the author

doesn't see a massive return from book

sales of course if your book is a huge

success you could end up extremely rich

but if you think about how many books

are out there and how many rich and

famous authors you can name the two

don't quite add up that's because the

majority of authors yes even published

authors aren't wealthy and in fact many

have to do other work alongside their

writing to make ends meet

writing costs money too it's also worth

remembering that writing is likely not

only to toss you in time but money too

even if you self publish which means you

can keep all or most of the money from

any book sales you're then solely

responsible for getting the book edited

to a publishable standard gets in your

book cover design and printing and

sending copies to any readers all of

which will take significant dollars of

his sale price

not to mention marketing costs actually

to get your book noticed in the first

place there are lots of ways other to

make a lucrative living from your

writing it might just be that selling

books isn't the one you should rely on

if you can land yourself a consistent

writing game this is a great way to pay

the bills while still allowing the

freedom and flexibility necessary to get

the novel written at the end of the day

many writers have to make difficult

decisions choices and sacrifices when it

comes to their writing career and being

firm about how far you are willing to go

and just what sacrifices you are ready

to make will help you stay focused and

purposeful and make everything much

clearer in the long run okay don't

forget if you're struggling to write or

finish your book our free writers

how to overcome procrastination get
