Melinda’s last blog post..Seven Facts About Me (That Most People Don’t Know)

Next thing I’d like you to do is not to underestimate yourself. If you are able to read this then you are already equipped with the “tools” you need to write. The real secret to writing is to write; the other is to read. Sorry if that’s a letdown but there’s no spectacular special ingredient, no magic formula. Which is a good thing as it means you can get going right away.

Freelancing can involve any skill you have but I gather you want to be a writer? Do you have a topic in mind? Picking a topic to write about gives you a sense of direction and continuity. If you are stuck for a topic just pick a hobby of yours – this is something you are probably passionate about. Not only will it give you a lot to write about but your passion will be conveyed through your writing.

I could go on and on but for now (I mean right now) start writing, whether it be on your computer or with a pen and paper.
