I have always loved words. I wrote my first story as a child; it’s still one of my favorite childhood memories. My old manual typewriter was my favorite childhood gift.

I have self-published my first nonfiction book, which was very well received.

I want to write. Writing is not a childhood fantasy. It’s also not a pie-in-the-sky dream. I know most never make it big.

I still want to write. I feel like I will fail in life if I don’t write.

The desire is with me all the time. I’ve tried to get out from under it, actually. It can feel burdensome at times. I wonder why anyone even needs my voice when there are so many talented wordsmiths. But the desire still lurks within me.

I’m looking for any advice you have to offer on how to get started freelancing.

I’d love to do creative writing, guests blog posts, article writing, as well as additional books.

I don’t want DMs about the latest, greatest, rise-to-success business opportunities.

Please - Are there any successful writers/authors who can offer me some authentic information on how to get started?

I would greatly appreciate the help.

Peace and Blessings!
