As a published crime writer I'm going to post what it's like to be a professional writer, the good and the bad days, writing and not writing.

"Find a subject you care about and which in your heart you feel others should care about. It is the genuine caring, and not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style."
Unfortunately when I attempt writing about something I feel passionate about, the story usually turns out to be overly didactic. I think the more important the subject, the more artful the writer must be. Whacking the occasional character is easier to pull off.
