Generating an income and making a living as a writer is possible! All it takes is writing for dozens of different genres, platforms, industries, mediums, and clients. The good news is: If you can write, you can write. You can write web video games, web content, social media, articles, radio, commercials, corporate videos, virtual reality, augmented reality,  plays, short films, feature films, and more! The fundamentals of writing — story, characters, themes, emotions — make it a valuable skill to build a career upon. The best part? When someone asks you what you do for a living, you get to say, “I’m a writer.”
