Marilla Mulwane: Wannabe Writer
Many people feel that if you write, and get paid for it in some way, that makes you a "writer." I guess that makes me a writer, but not the kind of writer I want to be. I want to make my living writing fiction, and that's it.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
I went to college. I wrote a book. I queried agents and publishers. I gave up and started freelancing. I learned tons about writing while freelancing. I started getting paid for my writing. I wrote another book, and then another. I queried smaller agents and tiny publishers.
I still have no idea what I'm doing.
This website is my next step on the road to fulfilling my dream. Yes, there are many of these websites out there. Why am I different? Because I admit I have no idea what I'm doing. I may never know, but I'll keep learning as I go.
