A lot of us here are so passionate about writing. Like music, some of us do it for a hobby, some of us do it for a living, and there are some of us who use writing as an outlet. There are times when we are so inspired when we have a lot of thoughts that we want to put into writing. And there are also times when we feel sad, lonely, and hurt, but we get through by writing. We can create a masterpiece when we have so much emotion. This is when we deliver our happiest or painful sentiments in our writing.

Today I am inspired to share my knowledge on how to choose and start a writing career for yourself. Before you land the right place for your talent, it is only right that you know first what kind of writer you want to be. There are plenty of writing careers that you can choose from:
