How to Tell Your Family You're Becoming a Writer

Making the decision to become a writer is a tough one because there is a lot of negative stigma out there, but you shouldn't let that stop you. Writers can and do make a living in this world. In fact, I'd argue that writers are in greater need than ever before with the explosion of the Information Age.

Once you've decided to pursue writing, whether you are 18 or 57, you need to tell your family and friends. To help you, I've prepared a few statements that you can use to break the news. Enjoy.


  • I'm not going to live in your house. I'll just park the RV in the driveway.
  • I only have to write 15,000 words a month to make a decent living.
  • I can work-from-home or I can get a job in an office.
  • Writers earn between 40-100K a year, depending on effort.
  • Writers aren't just writers....they can go into a ton of different fields.
  • The Ancient Egyptians valued scribes more than any other profession.
  • I'm going to get a very important degree...it's called the degree of life.
  • My health insurance will always be paid for because I qualify for expanded Medicaid.
