To be a professional writer, you have to\u00a0be able to\u00a0live from what you sell. This is a general definition.<\/p>\n
The segmentation criteria are irrelevant. Genre doesn\u2019t matter. The literary qualities of your work don\u2019t matter. You might criticize a vampire novel because it is badly written although it sold like crazy and there is a movie based on it. You could be right in your critique, but\u00a0truth is the author is a professional writer. He\/she sold books to many people and you can\u2019t deny this. He\/she is a writer with a well-defined target audience.<\/p>\n
Nobody says you couldn\u2019t do it\u00a0as well. They will criticize you or not. People will love your book or not.<\/p>\n
What I\u2019m interested in is if you are proud of what you published? Is it something that will stand the test of time? Is it something that your kids or nephews could read when they will be at the age the book was written for? Your husband, wife, or significant other will recommend your book to colleagues at work?<\/p>\n
Do you feel satisfaction for what your book has achieved in teaching readers something good, changing the world?<\/p>\n
Is it a gratifying experience to hold a hard copy of your book in your hands? Do you feel proud of your creation and say: \u201cI wrote this book!\u201d?<\/p>\n
