Writer Salary

How much does a writer make? Well that's an interesting question because it ranges everything from nothing to a phenomenal amount of money like authors like JK Rowling. 99 % of the authors don't write to make a living. Ray Bradbury wrote in his book Zen in the Art of Writing a like that I hold near and dear to my heart and that is, " we as writers write because we have to. We know that if we don't, some part of us is surely going to die. So every morning you get up and you write because you have to." A true writer, a true author is someone who's live revolves around creating stories in the written word sees this as their way of life and they don't focus on how much money they are going to make. When people come to me and they say, you know, I have an idea for a book and I want to be on Oprah, I say "great, write the story". Forget about everything else and put all of your passion and everything you have into creating that story. Because, when you do you, will create the best story you possibly can. It has nothing to do with money, it has nothing to do with wealth and fame and fortune. Every writer dreams of succeeding and that is to have somebody appreciate and be touched by the words that you write.
