Writing for love or money? Have both!

Here’s the trick... [The Writer’ s Life]( April 18, 2022 "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant." – Robert Louis Stevenson If you've been reading for a while, {NAME}, you know that I love talking about money … And finding ways for you to make MORE of it as a writer! 🤑 I don't shy away from it, because: - Writing is very lucrative when you approach it the right way … - And money is a BIG part of getting to your ideal lifestyle.
