How to Write for a Living Posted by James Altucher When I first wrote a novel in 1991 I remember walking down the road and seeing a pretty girl and thinking, “She might like me now”. I know that a lot of what I write seems to involve whether or not women like me. But that’s what I think about. I also wanted money. I put it in quotes because what does it matter now? How could you, my sweet baby, ever do something wrong? Note: the above sentence is what I would whisper to myself after being summoned to the boss’s office. “Don’t you have any pride in your work?” Whatever. I was 22 years old and looking at women and trying to publish a novel on the side so I didn’t have to work anymore. It took many years before I made any money as a writer. But the rules changed every 3 or 4 years and they will change again. By the way, that first novel, and the four that came after it, and the 50 short stories that came after it, never got published. When you have weights on you, you can’t move. So…GO! Some people will disagree. No.

As much as many creative types like to pose as a mysterious lone wolves skulking through the fringes of society without ever becoming a cog in the machine, man, even their works have been shaped by their external experiences up to that point. Even a whole rejection of society still involves relation to it, albeit one defined by absence than presence. So despite what that "free spirit" in composition class claims, reaching out to fellow writers can still prove beneficial to those hoping to pursue the art as either a career or a hobby.

25 Ways To Fight Your Story’s Mushy Middle For me, the middle is the hardest part of writing. It’s easy to get the stallions moving in the beginning — a stun gun up their asses gets them stampeding right quick. I don’t have much of a problem with endings, either; you get to a certain point and the horses are worked up into a mighty lather and run wildly and ineluctably toward the cliff’s edge. But the middle, man, the motherfucking middle. It’s like being lost in a fog, wandering the wasteland tracts. Seems like it’s time for another “list of 25″ to the rescue, then. Hiyaa! 1. Fuck the three-act structure right in its crusty corn-cave. 2. Hey, when you fake an orgasm, you gotta commit. 3. The shape of a story — especially the shape of a story’s middle — is a lot of soft rises and doughy plateaus and zoftig falls. 4. When I was a kid, Christmas Eve was the most interminable time because, y’know, Christmas morning is everything. 5. Sometimes, a story needs a bit of new blood in the form of a new character — someone interesting.
