What’s For Dessert?

by Catherine L. Tully

This delicious picture is designed to remind you of something…you should be doing some writing that you enjoy. Now I understand that as a writer, there are many times you need to take the work that comes down the pike to pay the bills. This can mean writing about diapers, weird smells or even dirt. I’ve written about some pretty boring (and weird) stuff to make a buck.

Still…you need to be doing some writing that inspires you. Some that allows you to express your inner voice and your sense of style. This is true even if you aren’t getting paid for it. Keep sending out queries about things that you enjoy writing about. Keep trying to find gigs that are in a field you like. Otherwise you run the risk of burnout, and it isn’t pretty…

So the next time you saddle up to do some content writing about air conditioning or pen a piece about post-nasal drip, as yourself “what’s for dessert?” and then write something fun!
