We love to see writers taking ownership over asking for help when turning their writing into a career.
That ownership comes in three forms:
Writing online at least 3x a week to get better at your craft
Reading articles and books to help you learn how to write better
Investing in mentors and coaches who can help you monetize your writing faster
