1. Stop Waiting!

• If you think there would be some magical
  opportunity that will land right in front of you
  and make you a published writer then my friend,
  youre extremely wrong. Moreover, you dont need
  to be a published writer in order to call
  yourself a writer, you can write anything for the
  audience, learning along the way, and making
  progress at your craft, then youre a writer and
  on the path to become a published one.

2. Dont Stop or Quit!

• There will be more than one instant when youll
  feel like quitting and leaving this behind to
  lead a more conventional job, but just work your
  way through that situation. Focus on why you
  wanted to do it and your end goal, this might not
  make things instantly or entirely great, but
  certainly give you the boost to keep going, and
  that is all we want.

3. Make It A Habit

• To succeed at anything in life you need to make
  it a crucial part of your life and invest a great
  deal of time in it, along with your commitment
  towards the same. Hone your skills as much as
  possible and this can greatly be achieved the day
  writing becomes a habit for you and not another
  thing on your to-do list. Dedicate an hour or two
  every single day towards writing and see the
  difference this entire exercise brings in.

4. Write What You Feel Passionately About

• For the initial days and parts of your writing
  career think what you used to enjoy the most to
  read, as a kid. From sci-fi to adventure and what
  not, fix the style and genre you feel truly
  excited about and then write on it. Initially,
  you dont need to think too deeply about it,
  write whatever comes to your mind and slowly
  youll notice how youre getting better at your
  writing and can actually tie your thoughts nicely.

5. Establish Your Socials For
Audience To Reach Out To You

• We live in a time where anyone can become famous
  if they reach the right audience and the first
  step to achieve that is to set up your socials on
  different platforms where your audience can
  actually reach out to you and stay updated on
  your work. Along with the socials, also set up a
  website with all your work for potential clients
  and an established reader base.

6. Reach Out For Opportunities

• In the beginning, you would have to put in a
  little extra to get yourself noticed, so dont
  shy away from reaching out to potential
  opportunities if they dont reach out to you. Do
  volunteer work and contribute to your favourite
  collaborations. With great and interesting work
  youll start establishing yourself and your
  writing to invite more people to work with you.

7. Connect With Like-Minded Writers

• Connect with other budding and like-minded
  writers to discuss your work, challenges and
  provide solutions to others problems. This way
  youll be able to grow out of your confined
  bubble and get some expert view on your work
  which helps you in progressing and learning. More
  importantly, when you start discussing your
  journey with someone whos on the same path or
  has been there, it somehow gives you the ability
  to sail through it smoothly.

8. Network and Network

• Along with connecting with writers on the same
  path as you, dont forget to network and get the
  word about you out there. You would have to be
  your own marketeer and agent in the start of your
  career to eventually land up to something great
  and what youve always wanted. Till then, keep
  your business card ready with all important
  details and pass it on to potential clients or
  readers at every given chance.

9. Dont Stop Reading

• Just because you have decided to become a writer
  does not mean that you need to put a stop to your
  reading goals and list. The more you read, the
  better you can imagine and then write. Plus, it
  is always the most inspiring part of ones
  journey on becoming a writer, after all, only a
  great reader can become a great writer since they
  know what keeps the reader invested in a story
  and what doesnt. Plus, it helps you in achieving
  an objective outlook on your work and not take it
  too seriously or to the heart.

10. Keep Your Focus

• Last but definitely not the least, keep your
  focus steady and at your goals. Writing as a
  profession is too self-dependent, hence you
  always need to be the most strict manager to
  yourself, in order to get the work done and that
  too in the best shape. Create your comfort space,
  also known as your writing space, and remove
  anything and everything that can distract you
  from your process.
