Recommendations for future writers

The more refined the humanities profession, the more viable he himself must be. It won't be easy. Consider the writing profession - the most refined liberal arts profession. Many of those who want to become writers are those who fear not to find a place for themselves in our colorful, changeable, cruel reality. They live in a world of literary fantasies and do not want to become reality - to win a place under the sun for themselves. They think they are special. Doing anything - even journalism - is beneath their dignity. They live on parental funds and study diligently. They want to become famous, but only a few succeed.

Also having good writing skills, you can write essays and dissertations for students. Many content writing services now do homework for students. This is a very interesting and profitable occupation. For example, essayswriting help, a company that offers essays and dissertations, has become very popular with students recently. This company employs many writers and they are satisfied with their work.

Most remain "widely known in a narrow environment." Then they publish books (sometimes without even paying for publication) and participate in numerous readings and speeches. Then some go to work in the editorial office and publishing house as cultural advisors. And some of them are retraining as correspondents, editors, librarians ... The rest work from time to time not in their specialty, Let's give the floor to those who have decided to ascend in the writing field. Rate the authors "for survivability":

Oksana:

I was offered to go to seminars, read my works and publicly criticize them. I was horrified and refused. I directly imagined how I stood like a kind of Saint Sebastian, and the flesh of my poems - my living flesh - mockingly and without hesitation pierced with spears. Therefore, I quietly published my book and distributed it to trusted people - let them read on a quiet evening alone and do not yell insensitivity in my face. If you get a higher education in the field of literature or journalism ... It does not create writers or journalists - at best it hones your skills. (On the other hand, Baumansky does not create great physicists, all the same, there must be inclinations from the beginning. But in creative universities this is better seen: without polishing from the outside, by itself, you cannot become a physicist, but, for example, you can become a poet if you wish.) Learning, a person runs the risk of succumbing to the pattern: to write like this is true, but this way it is wrong ... And I am for the flight of my soul, I myself write in a complete frenzy and I love those places where I cannot explain how it is done. Sometimes I read, say, the poems of someone famous and think: well, this rhyme was probably invented on purpose in order to somehow balance the previous line, on which the whole verse is tied and for which it was written. And if (as, of course, it seems to me) this is clearly visible, if there is no feeling that the whole work was created as if by a whim, then the artisan has already done it - maybe very good, but failed to cover up the traces of seams and welding ... to at least somehow balance the previous line, on which the whole verse is tied and for which it was written.

Laura :

I have become worse at writing. Why? I do not know. Perhaps the fact is that I am taught according to the principle that it does not matter what is written - it is important how. And this is initially wrong: both are important! Equally! And the realization of all this brings nothing but sadness.

Rimma :

In my opinion, only a person with a rich life experience can be a writer ... Right after school, at the age of sixteen, it is difficult to realize - is it yours or not? After all, as a rule, in youth, naive and love-carrot rhymes or superficial stories are written. And journalism is just a good tool for a writer's crackdown.

Olga :

And who is the “literary worker”?

The fact is that there is simply no qualification "writer" ... It is interesting to write, to talk about the eternal and the topical in books, anyone can learn - if he wants. If he suddenly understands: "I can not live without creativity!". A modest psychiatrist from Alma-Ata is now the famous metropolitan realist-science fiction writer Sergei Lukyanenko. Deep works are written by actors (for example, Vasily Livanov). Pelevin was kicked out of the Literary Institute ... Petrushevskaya is a graduate of the journalism faculty of Moscow State University.

Ulitskaya is a genetic biologist from Bashkiria. Aksenov graduated from the Medical Institute. I am for a broad humanitarian education. For the merger of all "book" specialties. For not only writers to come to meetings with students in writing universities, not only actors and directors to theater schools ... Then it will be easier for a graduate to choose his life path. Especially if friendly teachers help him, who, in addition to education, will be engaged in upbringing - not a superfluous person - “smart uselessness”, but a versatile personality striving to make the world brighter and more sonorous, sensitive and attentive, thinking and moral. And, of course, a viable personality capable of accepting the specifics of the profession. And now - a little about the specifics ...
