I wish...

I could get paid to write full-time, and work from anywhere in the world. I'm trying, but the road is very long, but my patience....not so much!

If you want to write for a living your post should have moved me in some way. It did not. Look at every opportunity to write as if it's a resume...

Make people want to read what you write.

Use passion, eloquence, wit.

Seize the day

Sure but ...

First, you need to learn how to write grammatically correct sentences.

no way, i think your writing is on point, but it doesn't matter what others think; suggestions are only for consideration. You can do it! either take a journalism program ( langara has a great one) or send your writing in to anything you can. Internet tourism, interesting articles, filler web page stuff and topical paragraphs are all in demand. it is a great time to strike. Start trying, eventually it might end up being full-time work.

You know, all the best writers have had careers of their own that inspired their works. Chekhov and Doyle were doctors, Tolkien was a soldier/professor, countless crime authors worked as cops, forensic pathologists, lawyers, etc.
Being a writer is a very common dream, so you need to distinguish yourself in some way.
