The answer of how is that if you have passion and strong means of expressions, you can start this venture. Now the Question is if you have passion for writing or you just wish to hold pen as the people in this field are earning more reputation and money.
If your answer is the first one, you are on the right track and but if you opt for the second one, you are on the wrong side of your choice.
WE must clear one point here that it is not an easy field to enter. It requires persistent efforts, untiring labor, unyielding zeal et al. Still the success is slippy. Start this career without thinking much about success and failure. Start writing if you have food ( Content ) for writing something and here the food is your thoughts.
