20 Ways To Fail As A Freelance Writer

Last month I wrote a post about becoming a freelance writer. Today I’m sharing 20 tips that’ll help you fail as a freelance writer.

1. Don’t set yourself a writing routine or stick to it. Always make sure that doing your writing is at the bottom of your list of priorities. Even when you are writing, if something else you have to do that day springs to mind, then go and do that instead.

2. If one of your friends comes round to invite you out for coffee, just go, no matter how busy you are with your writing.

3. Whenever you’re writing, check your phone every time there’s a notification.

4. Always feel guilty for doing your writing instead of doing what other people want you to do.

5. Don’t read any articles about writing, especially if it’s written by someone who’s done it before.

6. If anyone tells you of way to make money from your writing, don’t believe them and never try it.

7. Never take a writing course to hone your skills.

8. Don’t visit any relevant blogs on the internet, and never subscribe to their newslette…
