But the plan would be in some time in the future get enough readers to get a Patreon and see if I can live out of my writing. That would be lovely.

Many of us dream of living from literature! Writing is a passion and literary creation is the summit. It's necessary to have constancy!

Something like @tarazkp, but for fiction writing.

You made me laugh... but the comparison is good.

As for your writing system I dare to suggest the following: Don't write the entire story on paper. Write only the main ideas.

Then, in the computer develop the story.

Cheers @bertrayo

A possible dream. I like to think.

One has to dream big and take small steps.

This sounds like a plan. I'll try it next time.

Thanks for your words, marcybetancourt

Have you read the September newsletter, @bertrayo? You'll see that we are trying to create a long-term income for writers through The Ink Well.

I didn't know. But it's been 3 weeks since I stepped back into this media and haven't had time to check on everything. It looks promising, but I was just answering the questions from my side of facts. The idea yo give that income is a good motivation to keep writing, but getting a living out of writing fiction is an ambitious endeavor and also the kind of thing that doesn't thrive around 1 source (not to undermine your efforts and the community you've built around writing, which is awesome).

I agree - writers need to be able to manage multiple social media channels these days. It requires a whole new set of skills for interacting online with your audience as well as writing the story!

Yes, but as I said. First, I need to resolve my writing issues. 😅
