This is infinitely harder than you think.

Answer #2

dont underestimate the importance of education. you might be a better writer when you know more about it. There are plenty of educations which lend themselves perfectly for that.

Answer #3

Answer #8

All you have to do to be an author is write. Write as much as you can, as often as you can. If a few people enjoy it, publish it so others can read it too. All you can do is try. There’s no proven way to become a successful author.
