You Are A Writer!

 

Do writers realize the rich opportunity before them, that they can get published today if they choose to. No tests, no licensing fees, no schooling is required. Just write!



I am amazed:

That one could be a SCOTUS justice without attending law school, passing the bar, or be a practicing lawyer or judge.
How one could be Speaker of the House and not be a Congressman.
That one can be elected our nation’s president without having served in any elective office, the military, or even worked in government at any level.
How someone can be a billionaire CEO without graduating college.

All of these things are possible, many of which have already happened. Some of the biggest jobs in America require little of their applicants.

There is more good news: Anyone can write, publish, and promote a book. People can just simply choose to be authors and they can make it so. No formal training is needed. No requirements have to be met.  No licensing standards must be fulfilled. No permission is required from anyone.

There are more stringent regulations for people who want to become barbers, taxi drivers, and manicurists then there are for United States president, a SCOTUS judge, or the Speaker of the House — or authors.

Writers should revel in knowing that what they do is important, rewarding, and fun — and that they don’t need much more than a pad or laptop, an idea, and a dream to turn a concept into a book. Writers can accomplish a lot — and nothing nor no one can stand in their way.

You don’t have to beg the publishing gatekeepers to publish you. Publish yourself. You don’t have to solicit the news media for attention. Make your own noise on social media. You don’t have to ask for charity or rely on anyone else. You can launch your book and promote it with speaking events, advertising, and other means that you can initiate or create.

You are a writer because you write. Nothing else is needed.
