I think there is a slight variation here. Please correct me if I am wrong. A professional writer is not someone who writes bits and piece articles for a pay. A professional writer ( or shall we call them as ‘orginal writer’) is someone gifted and taken up writing full-time and can make a happy living by writing a few books in his life-time. A professional writer is not a commissioned writer. S/he writes whatever they feel like. Whereas, when you are commissioned for writing with a purpose by company or individual, you are a ‘commissioned writer’ ( or there may be a better phrase for this ). For example, a famous novelist with best sellers is a ‘Professional writer’. If a film studio, decides to make it into a film, they hire a few screenplay writers who does the necessary screen adaptation work without much freedom. They are ‘commissioned writers’.
As I said earlier, please correct me if I am wrong.

When I write business reviews, I always think about how my client visualize his company. For me it’s my obligation to boost his business and somehow create good impression in his company.

Bob, that cabin in the woods image is the one I close my eyes and dream of when I need a new source of inspiration. Except the cabin is more like a split level town home with a home office to rival Donald Trump’s. You are so right about the writing life and I know that your clients benefit greatly from your deep expertise and your caring nature. Thanks Bob for sharing the lessons here.

My time are of paramount importance. If I'm not writing for a client, I'm writing for myself, but I never allow the minutes to get murdered. Writing is my job and I try not to slack. Writer Dads last blog post..Meet Cindy, My Wife

"I pictured a cabin in the woods, overlooking a crystal clear lake, with a dedicated artist furiously banging away on her keyboard, creating the next bestseller." I still have that exact image in my head, but now I imagine the "cabin" as part of the revising and refining process. It's great to be alone while you perfect your piece, but I've come to realize that writing is impossible when I add total isolation to the mix. Writing comes from life. It's probably just my own experience, but I find the longer I'm alone, the less inspired I am to write anything. Thanks for sharing your own experience.
