The Indie Writer ✍️

In recent years, as I’ve realised how much I like writing and would love to be able to write words and make money from them, I’ve explored a bunch of different options in an attempt to work and make money as a writer.

Sharing the various blog platforms I’ve used, my thoughts on each of them, and my overall recommendations for both “newbie” and “committed” bloggers.

Last week, I shared how I became a writer, in the face of some of the gnarly, unhelpful and untrue rules and expectations I had put on my shoulders as an aspiring writer.

In this post, I am sharing how I not only became a writer but an independent writer – that is, someone with the freedom to write things I care about, and making an income from doing so.

The story of leaving my job, starting my blogging journey, and becoming ‘a writer’.

“Writing consistently is helping me process things and manage that pressure cooker consistently... without letting things build up.”

Why I like to plan things by hand, the planner I’ve chosen for 2022, and my “theme word” for the year ahead.

If you’re curious about starting a blog, making new friends, possibly one day making money as a writer, and experiencing the joys of writing to a blog… this PDF guide is for you.

For anyone interested in blogging, making friends around the world, and becoming a writer in the process.
