A lot of newer
writers I meet find themselves overwhelmed with the myriad of opportunities in
the field of writing. They struggle, trying to decide between writing articles,
devotions, fiction, non-fiction, etc. Writing is a big field, and if you didn’t
study some aspect of it in college, the choices can be daunting.
My
suggestion—take a deep breath—you don’t have to start out with a specialty. As
a matter of fact, until you’ve tried several different types of projects, you probably
shouldn’t limit yourself too much. Even those of us with formal training find
ourselves morphing into a different kind of writer than we envisioned at the
start of our career.
