Liz Strauss is a very wise woman, and has posted an article called “The Problem with Writing . . . 25 Things to Know BEFORE You Write for a Living“. This article works very well for the topic of blogging as well, as people are trying to get jobs professionally blogging.

I have taken a few from her list and posted them below. I chose the ones that personally effect me the most.

The problem with writing is:

• that, when you start, no one will believe you are one.
• that all writing jobs takes longer than folks think they will.
• that getting to a living wage takes time and boring work.
• that, when you write well, the finished product looks like it was easy.
• that no one cares how hard it was.
• that the lifestyle isn’t glamorous.
• that the pay can be less glamorous.
• that when you have finished, there’s no applause.
• that you have finished, you have to do the same thing all over again.
