This year, I’ve
been trying to get inspired to find out what it is I want to do for the rest of
my life. That is, how to make a living and to find more enjoyment and meaning
in my everyday working life. I’m hoping that my day job will come to include
more writing and editing. Then hopefully I can transition to becoming a
full-time editor and/or writer. And I’m hoping I can find more fulfilment in
life through my creative writing.
In the meantime,
I’m reading a variety of inspirational materials, including following the
blogs/websites, below. They all talk about following your dreams yet also
trying to make money from doing work that you love. And they all talk about
using your writing to help you achieve your aims.
Zen Habits
Often voted the
one of the best blogs on the web. Leo Babauta is all about simplifying your
life and finding happiness through creative thinking and pursuits.
Live Your Legend
Another very
popular blog. Scott Dinsmore encourages everyone to do work they love and to
make a living from it.
Change Your
Thoughts
A blog from the
other side of the pond. Steven Aitchison gives very real tips on how to make a
living from working for yourself on the web.
The Art of
Non-Conformity
Chris Guillebeau
is on a mission to visit every country on the planet. Along the way, he shares
tips for changing the way you live through travel, and working for yourself
through microbusiness.
Following these
guys’ blogs, I get a spoonful of inspiration everyday, which helps me keep going
forward with my writing and editing.
