People who write for a living write a lot. They write every day, for hours and hours.

If you want to become a successful illustrator, designer, photographer, podcaster, freelancer (or anything else really), putting in hours of practice isn’t optional.
The cost of entry in whichever field, is the amount of hours you’ve spent doing. And like any investment that grows over time, the best time to begin is now.
