Common Writing Mistakes
Most books aren't rejected because the stories are "bad." They're rejected because they're not "ready to read." In short, minor stuff like typos, grammar, spelling, etc.
I don't mean places where we, as authors, deliberately break the rules....

Work at Home and Make Money Writing for Profit
When you work at home to make money writing for profit you do it in your own time, your spare time. What spare time do I hear you yell at me? Time is what you make of it and if you try (really, really try) you can always allocate a little for yourself to express self-initiative, develop your great extra income idea and make money writing. You might even qualify for some public sector assistance by way of government grants.
There again there might be multiple mental blocks standing in your way; blocks like...
- Too busy
- Too old
- Too young
- Too tired
- Too retired
- Too broke
- Too redundant
- Too rejected
- Too much to hope for...
TOO BUSY?
Well, you know what they say: if you want something done in a hurry; your best plan is to ask a busy person. If you're a stay-at-home mom looking after the kids, create a slot, exercise some self initiative and become instead a work at home mom.
TOO OLD?
Says who? You're only as old as you have a mind to be. Develop your great income idea and work at home writing for profit.
TOO YOUNG?
Rubbish. Go for it. You may not get a second chance to work at home.
TOO TIRED?
Then book a wake-up call. Creativity is happening all around you. Subscribe to my creative writing course and start writing for
profit.
TOO RETIRED?
Then start all over again, get back in the driver's seat and use your accumulated expertise to work at home and make money writing for profit.
TOO BROKE?
Then enquire about government grant assistance for people who want to work at home.
TOO REDUNDANT?
So you're finding it difficult finding employment? Then do something else meantime, draw upon your expertise, spend the time developing your great income idea and make some money writing for profit. Subscribe to my creative writing course and work at home.
TOO REJECTED?
There's only one way to get rid of it. Forget it - but only after you've forgiven those who are doing the rejecting. They don't know your side of it and even if they did, they probably wouldn't understand anyway. Pick yourself up, evaluate your expertise and set about making money writing as you work at home.
TOO MUCH TO HOPE FOR?
Can't be or you wouldn't be still reading this article...
