A writing career as a professional writer requires more than just the ability and desire to string words together in an interesting and compelling way.

Even if you’ve had publishing success already, there are still questions that you must (or should) answer before you can realistically make the decision as to whether or not you have what it takes to be a professional writer.

1. Do you possess enough time management discipline to meet your goals and obligations?

In this case, goals do not refer to that wish list of resolutions you set for yourself on New Year’s Day. (Most people have trouble sticking to a diet and not every successful dieter can carry that discipline over to other areas of his or her life.)

When it comes to a writing career, your goals will need to include aspects of your work that you may find tedious or boring. Pick your least favorite part of writing – such as editing, proofreading, or promotion – and then truthfully determine whether or not you can picture being able to force yourself to perform that chore or those chores on a regular basis.

Your primary writing obligation will involve meeting or exceeding deadlines. In addition to the deadlines for which you are obligated by contract to meet, you’ll also need to allow time to do the work that it’ll take to get the work you’ll need once you meet your current work project deadline. Unless you start off with a million dollar book deal right out of the gate, the reality of a writing career is that it can often require more work (in the form of query letters and book proposals, self-promotion online and in person, and so forth) to get the work than it takes to do the work.

2. Do you have a reasonable expectation of what it will take to meet your financial obligations?

Allow me to get personal for a moment:
Prior to my diagnosis with a disabling physical condition that has now exacerbated to the point to where I can no longer work outside my home, I maintained a full-time job along with a full-time writing career. The job paid the bills; the writing paid for the extras and fun stuff. I now often joke that after spending several years getting disability [lack of] income I was able to write my way into [the lousy cash flow of] a full-time freelance writing career.

Regardless of what type of freelance writing career you pursue, you’ll face the same realities that I do, which require that you possess:

• The trust that editors who receive their paychecks according to a predetermined schedule will remember that they have to put in the formal request that you receive your check
• The patience to wait the time that it takes for your check request to work its way through the often weeks-long maze it takes to arrive at the desk of the person who will actually issue the check
• More patience while you wait for your check to arrive in the mail or get deposited into your account
• A reasonable expectation about the amount of time that will lapse once you have this fat check in your hand before the next one arrives

(In an ideal world, you’ll have enough money on hand to act as a cushion you can use to fund your writing career. This cushion will allow you to draw regular paychecks from the amount on hand so that you’re depositing new checks into that fund rather than spending the money as it arrives. This allows you to have a margin of error that allows for late checks, nonpaying clients, or canceled contracts and still maintain your financial stability. Unfortunately, I wasn’t blessed with an ideal world. I work without that margin, yet I still make or am the victim of errors.)

A professional writing career is stressful enough. Having that cushion of the amount of money it will take you to maintain your lifestyle for a minimum of six months can help you avoid adding financial stress to your life.

As you budget for that needed six months-worth of money in reserve, keep in mind that once you become your own boss, your financial obligations will include additional things like purchasing and maintaining your own office equipment. It’s true that you may receive checks larger than any that you ever received at your previous full-time job, but chances are there will be longer periods of time between when you receive one check and then the next. Feast or famine.

Once you get a large advance check or one arrives for a completed writing project, you’ll naturally want to reward yourself. Even if you have the luxury of a working spouse or partner, you’ll need to possess the financial discipline necessary to recognize what you can budget for a reward and what monetary amount constitutes an unnecessary indulgence.

3. Is everything all about you?

You need to make a realistic assessment about whether or not you need direct supervision to be productive.

If you were a guest on a talk show, are you the type who could maintain your composure once you’ve moved down the sofa?

Or are you more like the guest who, once he or she’s moved off of the seat for the featured guest, feels compelled to continue to crack jokes and interrupt the host or the new guest in order to focus attention back to him- or herself?

Some people simply need immediate and somewhat constant supervision or feedback. There’s nothing wrong with admitting that about yourself if you fall into that category. There are plenty of careers available that allow you to work full time, write [whatever] according to assignment, and then hand your work over to a supervisor whose feedback will help make you feel like you’re always in the spotlight as the featured guest.

Granted, there are ways that a freelance writer can introduce immediate feedback into his or her writing life. Bloggers who’ve managed to reach the point where they receive numerous comments on each of their posts are somewhat in this position, although the comments they receive aren’t always as indulgent as those that can come from a boss who’s working toward the same goals you are. A more productive alternative to having the immediate feedback from a boss is to develop a reciprocal online or writer’s group relationship with another trusted writer.

The immediate support and feedback from a boss can also help you if you’re the type who is prone to procrastinate or digress. Although those gifted at avoiding work can always find ways to do it, it’s more difficult to spend time playing computer games or any of those other things you’d rather be doing if there’s the risk of a boss catching you in the act.

4. Do you know the difference between reasons and excuses?

Few things in life ever go exactly according to schedule. Accept that and plan accordingly.

Of course you can’t plan for every contingency. An extended electrical outage due to a storm is a reason. A death in the family is a reason. But, multiple reasons strung together can (and do) constitute moving beyond having reasons for not getting the work done and making excuses to try to justify your lack of discipline.

Recognize the difference and work accordingly.

5. Do you have more reasons why you can and should be a professional writer than you have excuses for why it’d never work?

If you do, then do it!

Kelly Milner Halls: Welcome everyone to tonight’s chat with grammar guru Pamela Rice Hahn. We’re so glad to see such a great turn out. Late last year, Pamela saw the release of her fabulous trade paperback Teach Yourself Grammar and Style in 24 Hours. iUniverse was thrilled to schedule Hahn for a live expert chat, but she was unable to attend. Tonight, she takes us up on our rain-check to chat abour grammar for writers of every kind. Welcome Pam, we’re really glad to have you. Tell us a little about what inspired you to write the book.

Pamela Rice Hahn: Thank you. I was asked by Macmillan to do the book (via my agent) and they offered an advance. Money is a nice motivator. It was one of those fluke things, actually. The original author (a college professor) decided his schedule was such that he had to back out. So they asked me and I then wrote a sample table of contents and a proposal that convinced the editors I was up to the task. Loved writing that book — especially the example sentences!

Candy: Pam, what is your proofreading technique? I mean what steps do you take to prep the book before submitting it for publication?

Pamela Rice Hahn: My favorite proofreading technique is when I can convince a friend to do it for me. It’s almost impossible to proofread your own work! When I proofread my own work, I find it works best for me if I read the stuff out loud. More apt to catch the errors that way. I’m usually close enough to deadline that I only have time for one (on stuff done on assignment). I get spoiled because I know that my DE and a copyeditor will be checking the ms, too.

Kelly Milner Halls: Pam, what was your background…what prepared you for such a daunting project as a grammar guidebook?

Pamela Rice Hahn: Luck

Kelly Milner Halls: That looks good on a resume. No really…

Pamela Rice Hahn: Discipline. Self-study mostly. I’d worked with Macmillan before so they knew that I turn in clean mss. For that book I did have to “attach” a Ph.D. to the work though. Dr. Dennis E. Hensley (I sometimes joke that they didn’t think that “Ph.D. = Pam hahn Darnit!” would cut it.)

WCTracey: Pam, have you always been passionate about grammar?

Pamela Rice Hahn: I’ve always been passionate about words. Reading. Figuring out how a writer hones a passage so that it speaks to me (ideally without my noticing that he’s done it).

Kelly Milner Halls: Pam, can you name a few of the chapters you think are most helpful to writers? And tell us WHY they are good for scribes.

Pamela Rice Hahn: The first chapter is a good intro to the subject. It touches on why it’s so important to know the rules of grammar so that you can learn when it’s okay to break them. It’s also where I was able to stick in some corny puns and a cutesy poem I came up with for an example. Other than that, off the top of my head, I can’t name chapter numbers. Do you want me to grab the book, take a quick look-see, and advise?

Kelly Milner Halls: In a bit sure…Remember, if you have a question, type ? and we’ll call on you. Pam, what are the most COMMON grammar mistakes we make as writers?

Pamela Rice Hahn: I can add this: I’m proudest of the grammar portion of the book. (The first half.) I’m proud of the entire work, of course, but I think I felt I had to work hardest doing the actual grammar lessons so knowing I wrote that really feels like an accomplishment.

Kelly Milner Halls: So let’s back track…what are some of the most common errors we make as writers?

Pamela Rice Hahn: Mixing up possessive pronouns and contractions seems to be a biggie.

Kelly Milner Halls: Any others?

Pamela Rice Hahn: You want more? Okay. Unclear pronouns, passive voice ranks right up there.

Kelly Milner Halls: Give us examples, if you could Pam.

Pamela Rice Hahn: Gosh, example sentences take awhile. Hang on Gonna type one in from page 62, so give me a second please

“He told her that he planned to do it for her but she felt that he should not do that.”

That’s ambiguity.

Kelly Milner Halls: Okay. How about an unclear pronoun?

Pamela Rice Hahn: Give me a minute (this is all real time, first draft typing here, remember.)  In that sentence, it could the “she” who believes he shouldn’t do it or somebody else not represented in the sentence but indicated earlier. (IF that helps.) Another pronoun error that drives me up the wall, and I believe IT IS AN ERROR, is using a plural pronoun instead of “his or her” in the name of nonsexist language. One more thing: I’m of the opinion that the pronoun number (singular or plural) should match the noun. Want an example of that?

Kelly Milner Halls: Yes.

Pamela Rice Hahn: “Does ANYONE want to eat THEIR popcorn?”

In that case, ANYONE is singular. Correct would be: “Does ANYONE want to eat HIS or HER popcorn?” I shortened the example sentence so it doesn’t read as well. Add “in the living room” to the end of those examples (after popcorn) and it makes a bit more sense, unless you want a better example. LOL

Kelly Milner Halls: Nah, it’s good…thanks Pam…okay, Rob, your question?

Rob: Reading that example sentence made my teeth hurt. I’ve heard that good singers actually have a hard time singing poorly. Was it difficult coming up with these “error” sentences?

Pamela Rice Hahn: It took some time to come up with them, yes. But actually they were really fun to do. I used every family member’s name I could come up with and all of the names of my friends — online and in real life, then started asking my friends for names of their friends so I could quit repeating names. Once I got past that, sometimes paranoia would set in that I’d get one wrong.

WCTracey: Pam, do you recommend that writers proofread their own work or get another set of eyes?

Pamela Rice Hahn: Whenever possible, get another pair of eyes to help out. Hands down!

Kelly Milner Halls: Kazon, your question?

Kazon: Does Kelly remind you of a mother superior (teaching order) putting you through the paces? LOL. With informal writing I use his/her instead of his or her. Is this lazy on my part or acceptable?

Kelly Milner Halls: Bless you, my child! : )

Pamela Rice Hahn: LOL Kel. Kazon, it’s lazy if it’s formal writing. As for informal writing, acceptable is based on how informal you wish to be.

Kelly Milner Halls: Pam, how do you define what’s FORMAL or INFORMAL?

Pamela Rice Hahn: I use s/he in informal writing a lot, btw. Formal writing would be any business writing. Most essays fall within formal writing. As do most books, although allowances can be made depending on the genre or format. For example, humor writers sometimes purposely change writing style or punctuation for emphasis. Informal writing is like what’s done here in chat when I say “howdy” to my sister-in-law. Informal writing is anything that isn’t formal.

Kelly Milner Halls: How important is good grammar to the professional credibility of ANY published book?

Pamela Rice Hahn: I believe that any error that shows up in a book hinders the credibility of the entire work. I think proper grammar shows a respect for the reader.

Kelly Milner Halls: Okay, a question about dialogue. How do you BEND the rules of grammar to reflect regional accents or intellectual weaknesses WITHOUT making your book seem “dumb” or “sloppy?”

Pamela Rice Hahn: I primarily write nonfiction, so while I’ll attempt to address that question, so much of what’s done does depend on the genre, the publisher’s style guidelines, your editor’s preferences, etc. When errors show up in dialogue, the reader knows (if not consciously, at least subconsciously) that they’re intentional. To show the speaker’s voice. Blocking out on title that came to mind, so give me a minute. BONFIRES OF THE VANITY (vanities?) Wolfe had the cops use grammar errors and occasionally had an attorney insert them in his conversation so that it wouldn’t appear that he was trying to one-up them by talking correctly, if I recall.

Kelly Milner Halls: Would a good professional editor be the best idea to be sure on fiction like that, Pam?

Pamela Rice Hahn: Yes. And pray that you get a good editor with your publisher, too.

Mimosajo: My story uses a diary written by a young under-educated child. Isn’t misspellings appropriate in this case?

Pamela Rice Hahn: I would think it would be. You may want to offset the diary somehow from the other text. Indented paragraphs tricks sort of thing. In something that’s being shown that’s understood to be verbatim, those types of errors would be okay. They’re less distracting, too, than say … using too much dialect (like Twain was able to get by with but is frowned on today).

Kelly Milner Halls: Mim, a good editor I know said to go easy on dialect-driven misspellings because they slow the reader down. SHOW your child’s disability rather than TELL it with misspellings. Pam, how has writing this book effected your OWN work as a writer?

Pamela Rice Hahn: Each thing I write improves my skill, I’ve found. But what helps me even more is when I edit someone else’s work. It *is* easier to see mistakes made by another. Editing (whether it’s done formally or done for a friend as a favor) helps me see other ways to phrase sentences, etc. And, because I’m a visual learner, I canNOT say enough about how much using “revision marks” in Word has helped me see things more clearly in those edits.

Kelly Milner Halls: When is it okay to break a grammar rule? Can you give us ONE example?

Pamela Rice Hahn: Sometimes it’s better to write in complete sentences. Other times it’s better to write in fragments. For emphasis, for example.

George: I write juvenile historical fiction.  I try to incorporate the language from the American Revolution through the civil war.  Is it wrong to try and utilize the dialogue of these times?

Pamela Rice Hahn: I truly don’t feel I can speak to that. Those types of decisions depend on the genre (which I realize you’ve named), but they also depend on the publisher’s style guidelines.

Kelly Milner Halls: Pam, were there any surprises for you as your wrote this grammar guide? Things you’d forgotten, perhaps?

Pamela Rice Hahn: Thinking. Keep in mind, this book was written over a year ago. I have three books coming out this year and I’ve written what seems like a gazillion proposals, Web pages, and articles in that time, too, so my mind can only recall so much. Nothing really pops out right now. I think there’s always the feeling that, given the time, one could always have done better. But, it’s a fact of life, at some point, you’ve got to shove the thing out the door.

Kazon: When a grouping calls for commas, there seems to be two schools of though regarding the final comma before the word and. Billy brought home bread, beans and milk. Thoughts?

Pamela Rice Hahn: I am sooooooooo glad you brought that up! I’m a firm believer in the serial comma. (Putting a comma after EVERY word in the series before the conjunction — such as, “and” or “or.”) I’m of the opinion that writing “this, this, and that” has a different meaning than “this, this and that.”) The serial comma, which more and more publishers seem to be adopting as their style, helps avoid ambiguity.

Kelly Milner Halls: What about starting sentences with “But” or “And?” Is that okay now?

Pamela Rice Hahn: Not in formal writing. But, there can always be exceptions.

Kelly Milner Halls: But it’s done all the time in newspapers.

Pamela Rice Hahn: I know. And in books. Some editors hate it; some don’t mind. The same as some consider it the work of an amateur to use certain forms of punctuation!

Kelly Milner Halls, did writing this book help you get more work?

Pamela Rice Hahn: I’m sure it has. I haven’t had an editor say, “I want to work with you because I saw TYG/S” but every credit helps prove your credibility. Each work shows that you’re able to deliver. One thing that doing books for a series shows is that you’re able to deliver a work ON TIME (and usually within a SHORT amount of time). Disclaimer: I wouldn’t use THOSE CAPS in formal writing either.

Tangrene: How much can one trust the WORD program to “suggest” grammar.  It is hopeless for me when writing poetry, but since poetry is my love I tend to write in a similar fashion..and get into trouble with stories.

Pamela Rice Hahn: You can use it for suggestions, but you can’t rely on it. So what does one do when they have questions but don’t know where to go? Prior to Word 2000, Word’s grammar checker suggested “it’s” for “its” almost every time. Word is pretty good at finding passive voice. What to do depends on several factors. If you’re on deadline and don’t have much time, rewrite the sentence (in a way that you KNOW is correct). Otherwise, you can read my book.

Kelly Milner Halls: Tracey, don’t you have a question? About work space?  I’ll ask it for her. Tracey always wonders, what does your desk or work space LOOK like, Pam. Can you tell us?

Tangrene: LOL. Got it. But then I forget the question I am  looking for cause I get distracted.

Pamela Rice Hahn: You don’t want to know about my work space. LOL

Kelly Milner Halls: She DOES…trust me.

Tangrene: yes we do.

Pamela Rice Hahn: I tend to live with clutter. Actually, not by choice. Right now it’s because of lack of space and my current office arrangement. I once had a home office in the basement. (I called it “Suite B.”) There I had 900 square feet of space and I miss every little inch of that place! I live in a much smaller place now, so I’ve converted what would be the master bedroom into my office. Do you want me to go into some detail here?

Kelly Milner Halls: Nah, that’s good Pam…sounds familiar to me. Well, my friends, that kills the hour. Pam, any last comments you’d like to share? Tell us about those NEW books?

Pamela Rice Hahn: : Kelly: Keep this topic in mind. It’s one of the things we need to discuss. Thanks. Time flies! My new grilling cookbook, Lazy About Grilling: the feet up, hands down easiest ways to barbecue published by Laurel Glenn will be out in April. (It’s a cookbook with an attitude. Lots of humor.) Journey to the Center of the Internet (my first published fiction other than short stories) is out now from Syngress. It’s what I call “faction” … fictional story with “infodump” nonfiction details about the Internet. (I got my start in tech writing, btw.) Next: I’m waiting to hear what my next book will be. I’m busy building a new Web site (www.CookingWithPam.com) and writing book proposals. Oh! Another cookbook will be out in September – The Everything Diabetes Cookbook, Adams Media.

Kelly Milner Halls: Sounds great, Pam. Thanks so much for taking the hour to share your experience with us. And thanks to all of you for showing up. Rob, Tracey, you were amazing as always.

WCTracey: Thank *you* and thanks to Pam (who I kept calling Patricia)!

One of the best things that can happen to a serious writer is to find an active, supportive writing group whose members have goals similar to yours. At their best, these writers will listen to your query letters, synopsis, and chapter problems and be able to offer constructive advice. Chances are, it’ll be much more satisfying than asking the plumber who thought he was just there to fix the leaky faucet. Or, the glazed look you get at the dinner table at home when you ask for your family’s help.

Don’t think your family’s reluctance to critique your writing as being abandoned in your time of need by the people you’ve loved, supported, and fed all their lives. After all, there was that time they actually had some ideas and you burst into tears over your meatloaf. No one in your family wants to go there again. Do you?

Sometimes the people around your dinner table are silent because they have no advanced writing skills and they hate to be wrong. Don’t we all? So, most likely, they’ll hem and haw until they get their dessert, then they’ll leave you little sticky-notes on your computer behind your back. More about those notes later.

Better to take your questions to some people who will be more objective. Your family will be happier (relieved is more like it) and you’ll be happier and further along in actually fixing the problem, whatever it is.

Your fellow writers will also be a valuable resource when you have to make other decisions like: which writing conference is worth the time and money and which isn’t. Who’s buying the kind of stuff you’re writing? What’s new on the Internet?

A serious organization should have set times to meet in a dry place with tables and chairs. It should be cool in the summer and warm in the winter. A circle of writers that hopes to be productive should have a moderator who’s there on a regular basis and appoints someone to sit in her place when she’s absent.

Luckily, the group I’m in has a published writer who’s also an editor at the head of our table. She doesn’t just maintain order and make sure that all members get a chance to read, she can offer legitimate help on any writing project, big or small. Maybe her best quality is she’s so tactful. Every meeting, we tax her critiquing skills more than once or twice. I’m sure one of us could read aloud from one of Nixon’s old speeches, and she’d think of something encouraging and constructive to say.

Sometimes the perfect collection of writers to encourage your creative flow isn’t easy to find. If you don’t feel comfortable with the first writers you visit, try, try again, until you find your “writing home.” For instance, I knew that a group I visited wasn’t a good fit when I was the only writer at the table who didn’t have on a marijuana tee-shirt. The second bunch was okay but too far away to get me off my couch on stormy winter nights. My next “home” was perfect, and I’ve been there for several years now.

So, get out there and find some other writers you’re simpatico with. Either that, or get used to coming home to find that your family has left notes stuck all over your computer with messages like these:

• Mom! I had a few minutes before baseball practice, so I made a few improvements on chapter seven for you. Hope you like the scene I added with the giant spider. -Ritchie
• Dear, your editor called and said you needed an “expendable character,” so I murdered your protagonist in chapter three. Hope that was all right.-Mike
• Sis! I went through your new Thesaurus and underlined all the literary-sounding words in red. If you’re more literary, maybe you can be on Oprah. -Molly
• Mom! I thought your Times Roman was looking a little flat, so I changed everything to Ravie. It’s way cool, and added another fifty pages to your book. So I solved your page-count problem, too! -Kandy

Well, you did ask sometime over meatloaf for their help, remember?

Believe me, you’ll be much happier if you find a good writing group and make a commitment to it. If you want to become a better writer, you have to set aside the time to make it happen.

Members also have an obligation to be there to help their fellow writers, cheer when the news is good, and lend encouragement when needed. I should also add: be nice. Some of your fellow writers will be there for the camaraderie, so spare them the twisting knife in the ribs after they read.

. . . Wait a minute. I just found another sticky-note. This one says: “Hey, lady! What’s with all that back story in chapter two? Ya’ gotta get that stuff outta there, else you’ll slow down the pace.” Signed: Joe the plumber.

It was bound to happen. A plumber who writes. Turns out, he was right. Maybe I don’t need a writing group after all. Maybe what I need is another leaky faucet.
