It's simple really. Write about anything that interests you Write something, proof, rewrite repeat. Submit wait, wait, wait, deal with rejection. Start over if you repeat this process while writing something that matters to you. It will eventually pay off. At this point you can go back through all your rejected, non-time-sensitive material. Proofread, reflect on how different your past self was to present. Heck if you passed by on the street. You might even feel like slapping your former self. Then rewrite, submit, repeat. Keep in mind however, This could happen later rather than sooner, and most published writers have a day job. Good luck. I'm now editing myself. I didn't include original statement. There's a reason why it's called freelance ha ha. Seriously I can't overstate importance of proof-reads!
