I wrote all the captions for my friend's Etsy store and she paid me in Neil the Seal resin earrings and also lets me crash on her couch which makes me a professional writer (anyone who says you have to be paid in money to be a professional is just gatekeeping).

However I kept my day job in order to stay humble and also because my landlord refused to be paid in Neil the Seal resin earrings.

As a PROFESSIONAL writer I am here to dispense some utterly unique advice:

1. Read lots.
2. Write lots.
3. Write what you know (my book is about the sasquatch!)
4. Kill your darlings.
5. Learn how to use AI.

Hope my advice helps you all to become PROFESSIONAL writers like me!

EDIT: Wow I'm being downvoted for being pro-AI? Guess you won't ever be PROFESSIONAL writers like me!
