One of the fundamental principles of success in writing a good article is looking out for a human need, and then proffering solutions to meet that need. When you consciously and consistently seek ways to improve your environment and make the world around you better than you met it, you’ll not only be a success through your write-ups, but a celebrity.
Inspiration to write well comes from the things around you. Your world is your sphere of contact. Writers make a living through writing reports on technical subjects, such as computers or environmental issues, news broadcast, newspapers and magazines. Having one job makes life a bit simpler and leaves time for family and other activities.
Writers too become famous through writing fiction or poetry. It should be noted here that poets and fiction writers can not just begin to make money from their works until they have become famous. This is responsible for the lack of interest of so many people engaging themselves as poets and fiction writers. People in this category usually find jobs in which they can earn enough money to make a living and at the same time do what they love.
Though being in one job makes it easier for proper planning yet some poets and fiction writers usually learn other skills to make ends meet. However, before they become famous in their profession, most poets and fiction writers were teachers, deep sea divers, doctors, lawyers, gardeners, etc, doing their jobs in the day and their writing in the night. In other words, having too professions gives you a broad range of experience that can make your writing richer, even though it makes life busier.
Another category of writers that are out to change their world are the commercial-literary hybrid. It is not strange to see literary fiction writers creating user manuals for computers, or fluffy stories for tabloid magazines, or advertising copy, or even genre novels like romances or mysteries. These writers get an awful lot of practice at the craft of writing because they do it day and night.
Importantly, it should be noted that no matter the categories of these writers, their aim is to begin with their sphere of contact, to bring about a change or improvement. This is the mindset of achievement, go-getters and visionaries, always seeking to improve their environment. And because the world today needs problem-solvers who will make new discoveries and proffer new thoughts and ideologies, writers are always there to create a change.
In the words of Jesus that those who believe in Him are lights to the world (Matthew 5:14), writers are called to show others the way, for light gives direction. As a result, writers in order to teach others how to live, they always refuse to let their minds go to sleep. They try to put the wisdom of God in them to work by breaking new grounds and charting new frontiers.
You too can become a famous writer by beginning now, making a difference where you are. Remember that God brought you into this country so that, through you, He’ll touch others with His love, power, glory and grace.
