I know it’s too little, however it’s inspirational

Few years ago, I found my passion for writing. I love to write. I wrote short stories, poems and sometimes articles too. When I found that writing is my passion and I want to make Writing my career the biggest problem I faced was become consistent with my writing. When Writing was my hobby, I never used to write regularly. I used to wrote when I free and I want to. If I don’t write, I won’t be able to write. I know it sounds pretty obvious, but before I was writing, I believed that writers were gifted with this relentless and compulsive desire to jot their words onto paper. Most writers I know struggle to even sit down and begin the process. The hardest part is starting; once you get into the swing of things, it gets easier: not easy, just easier.

Secondly, when I wrote something as my hobby, I should not have to edit it. After making my writing my career I have to edit first before submitting. And editing is indeed a large part of what I still have to work on; I often dislike having to go back to my work and change what seem like obvious mistakes in hindsight. Medium gives me Motivation as well as consistency in my writing. Now, I know that I have to atleast write a one article per day and have to edit it and post it. When I made my first ever earning as a writer medium it was just an incredible experience for me. It gave me faith in my self that If I made this little bit of amount then I will sure of making more money with my writing skills. My first ever earning on Medium was only 0.03 cent. I know it’s too little but it’s my biggest Motivation to write more.

My second month's earning was 0.94 USD cent.
