Start To Make Your Creativity Pay
Part 2
by Angela Booth

Page: 1 2

If success comes slowly (or hasn't arrived yet), don't become desperate. Be patient. Selling your creativity takes time. If you can sense desperation taking hold, remind yourself that you're writing because you love to write.

Writers (and other creatives) may become desperate because of others' expectations. "Have you sold that book you were working on?" "Have you sold a painting?" This pressure is why you play your cards close to your chest. (See "downplay your creativity", above.)

=> 3. Market your work

When should you start to market your work? Immediately. As soon as you've written something that you feel is publishable, send it out.

This is where you tuck your creative self away, and haul your inner marketer out of the closet. Divorce yourself from your work as much as you can. Grit your teeth, and flail yourself with a whip if necessary, but send your work out. Then forget it. Your first marketing efforts may be torture. That's OK. You don't have to enjoy marketing, you just have to do it.

Starting small is important for writers, because you can send out a short story or a filler article without writing a query letter. For a new writer, query letters can be dangerous. Here's why: some writers never get beyond a query letter. Ask any editor. These writers write lots of query letters, get good at it, and then one day an editor calls their bluff and sends them a contract. At this, the query writer panics. Not only doesn't she write the article, she gives up writing for several years. Then she starts again. Writing query letters...

The good news is that once you've got into the habit of writing and sending your work out, you can stop worrying. Sooner or later you'll get a check. (Sooner, we hope.)

The big benefit of marketing is that after a while it stops being a trauma. It starts to become fun. Your inner marketer is all grown up. Then the only problem you have is getting organized so that you keep track of what you sent where.

If you follow the three strategies above, you will make your creativity pay, and sooner than you think is possible.
