			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">When you think about <a href="http://careerplanning.about.com/od/occupations/p/writer_editor.htm"><span style="color: #800080;">writing as a career</span></a>, most people think of their favorite author. Maybe Steven King comes to mind. Here’s a guy that pumps out books just about as fast as I can read them! And there is good money in this field for him. He could easily retire at any time because he has made millions of dollars from his work. Of course he loves what he does, so he is not going to stop writing. But he is living proof that you can make good money as a professional writer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">But is it just books? Of course not! In fact, most people who are making money by <a href="http://www.1st-writer.com/"><span style="color: #800080;">writing</span></a> are not writing books anyway. It’s much more common to write articles than books. Plus, anytime you are getting published you have to go through an editor first. And what is it that these editors really are? They are writers making money by doing what they love to do: write!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">So if you have a certain affinity for writing, maybe you can turn what you like doing into something that makes you money. While a formal education is typically required, it is not something that should hold you back. If you can prove yourself as a reliable and skilled <a href="http://www.writingcareer.com/"><span style="color: #800080;">writer</span></a> you can always get your shoe in the door. Just Google it for yourself and you will see that there are many opportunities to make money by writing.</span></p>
