What’s your dream job?

My dream job is to be a paid poet/author/ writer, and to have my blog really take off. I have been writing non-professionally since I was a young child and I have had some paid gigs on Fiverr before it started getting in the way of my school work, but as far as getting my work actually published, I have not been successful.
I have entered several poetry contests and almost won many times, but ultimately did not. I have also written a full collection of poems that I was interested in but am stuck at the publishing part.
For the past couple of years I wanted to try my hand at writing a full length novel for National Novel Writer’s month, but two years ago year I chose to do a memoir about my grandparents on my birth mom’s side who have both passed on, but I got too emotional half way through, and last year I chose to start working on a fantasy novel but I only got 8 pages in before I lost my die hard excitement for finishing by the end of November, which is supposed to be the goal.
I’m still interested in finishing the story, I just don’t see me doing it in just a month. I also still want to write some different memoirs about different points in my life and with different core messages I just need to get the ball rolling.
What about you? What is your dream job, or a hobby/ passion that you want to turn into a job?

Your dedication to your craft as a poet, author, and writer is truly inspiring. The journey of a writer is often filled with challenges, but your persistence and passion shine through in your words. Your experience in writing poetry, participating in contests, and working on diverse projects like a memoir and a fantasy novel demonstrate your versatility and depth as a writer.
Your journey reflects a deep commitment to storytelling and exploring various aspects of life through writing. It’s clear that you have a wealth of experiences and emotions to draw from, which are invaluable resources for any writer. Remember, every great writer has faced setbacks and challenges on their path to success. Your willingness to experiment with different genres and forms is a great strength.
Keep nurturing your love for writing. The world needs more authentic voices like yours. Whether it’s completing your fantasy novel at your own pace or writing memoirs that are close to your heart, each step you take is a valuable part of your journey. Your dream of having a successful blog and getting published is absolutely attainable. Keep writing, keep sharing your stories, and don’t give up on your dreams. Your unique voice has the potential to touch many lives.
