There are different types of authors. I had a little fun in my workshop conducted at the writer\u2019s conference in Alaska a few weeks ago when I labeled writers. Here\u2019s what I presented.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tThere are those who write purely because they have something important or amazing to share and plan to do so in a one book blast. Often, writing is a struggle for them. They don\u2019t consider themselves writers. They are simply using this means to get their message or their story out. I call them One Book Blasters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u2022\tThen there are those who just want to write. They love to write. And they hope to write numerous novels or nonfiction books. How about if we consider these authors Writing Fools? <\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022\tThere are also Niche Authors<\/strong>\u2014they might write just a few or many books in the same genre\/topic. They are attached to or passionate about saving trees, elder care, establishing new FDA regulations or finding a cancer cure, for example, and they produce books in order to do so.<\/p>\n \u2022\tThere are those who are practically plagued by a story or a perspective and they just have to put it in a book and get it published. This might be a children\u2019s book with a message, a memoir they want to write as therapy or an amazing story of survival. The story (true or not) rolls around in the author\u2019s head practically every waking hour and he decides he just must write it. We could call this person an Author Obsessed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u2022\tHow about the author who writes books simply to add credibility to the type of work he or she does. An accountant might write books on family budgeting, how to teach kids money-awareness and tips for skirting the mortgage scams, for example. Maybe you\u2019re a job consultant, photographer, veterinarian, plastic surgeon or even hairdresser and you write a book designed to help promote your work or your business. If so, you could be considered a Career-Driven Author<\/strong><\/p>\n This is fun, isn\u2019t it? Where do you fit in?
