Writing When You Want

Blasting this out before heading out to HUDDS on Saturday night...

As a writer if you're not writing for money, you should write... when you want.

So ideally in this modern consumer instant gratification world... this means you should have enough money to live without getting money for writing. I've been at that stage for quite a while now... it means I can write what I want without having to 'suck up' to people...

That's quite a power. And with over 150,000 share article views worldwide and now over 92,000 views on www.markhowitt.blogspot.com ... it seems people are READING.

So yeah, that's a quick tip for you if you're a POOR writer. And obviously you might be a GOOD writer... but poor in terms of cash. Writing fiction is about the hardest thing you can do with the most brain power for the least cash for most people... I know that from getting 5p an hour for 18 months.

Use that brain power to make money in another way... and THEN write. You can do it.

As Much Time

Blasting out a quick post on Sunday night...

It takes as much time to be a success as it does to be a failure.

The time will pass anyway, regardless of what you do.

Everyone has 24 hours in their day. It's what you do with them that counts.

Now you can decide what you call a 'success' or a 'failure'... but everyone can have their own goals they want to achieve. So you can simply say a success is someone who reaches their goals, a failure is someone who doesn't reach their goals...

Most people don't even have goals...

So yeah, I'm feeling pretty assertive myself with goals. I NEED to work on my diet on fitness though... two decent walks today. Will work on my upper body strength too. This is not hard to do, but MUST be done every day.

Read all you want about people who made an impact on the world. You'll find that practically everyone, everyone who did anything meaningful, put a LOT of time into getting good at their skill. Call it dedicated practice. Putting time in, pushing yourself, and working smart. That's what you've got to do.

Over 92,000 views now, MUST be 100,000 or more before end of year. Thanks for your support.

Pubs

@greeneking and @MarstonsPLC should both benefit from England's world cup win... as well as the economy as a whole hopefully!

How Much Cash?

The Graham principle of at most 75% in shares is still basically true I think... 75% means you're v positive about the market... interest rates low now but there are many other ways to make money with money other than shares now...

Replying to @TomSpainRJ
I've been thinking about that concept quite a lot... at many times it can be good to have a decent amount of cash ready to POUNCE on the best investment opportunity...

It’s far better to hold cash waiting for the right opportunity than it is to purchase the wrong investment in a hurry.
