On Authorship: Essays on the Emotional Realities of Being a Professional Writer

On Authorship is a compilation of fourteen timeless articles on writing. Originally published online, they were among the most popular articles in Vidal’s extensive repertoire. The essays primarily focus on the practical and emotional challenges faced by writers as they move from writing as a hobby to writing as a career. With an approach that is incisive, personal, and reassuring, the work delves into the topics of self-worth, motivation, fear, and more, and is as much an exploration of the soul as it is a discussion and celebration of the craft of writing.

These steps don’t require skill, a college education, getting a high-paying job, coming up with some magical side hustle, or anything else. This plan consists of getting the basic income that is achievable by anyone—minimum wage if it has to be—and enough discipline to consistently follow the steps. That’s all.
