Being One of Great Writers

Unfortunately, numerology isn't the right tool for psychic predictions. However, it can be used to indicate probabilities and tendencies.

The idea of being a great writer is subjective. But I think I know what you mean — recognition as being at a similar skill or popularity level as the top writers of a certain genre or of a certain geographical location, as a city or a country.

It's likely to require four things: skill, editorial support, marketing, and luck.

Skill can be obtained by writing, lots of writing. Writing every day, as much as you can. Skill is enhanced by practice. Skill may be augmented with research and education. But practice is still required to gain skill.

Editorial support is qualified people providing points of view other than your own, accompanied with copy improvement suggestions.

Marketing is getting your work published and recognized — making it available and doing the actions required so people know it is available.

Consider using a pen name, a pen name with a number 3 as a destiny number.

Your current destiny number is the number 4, which is a wonderful number for getting things done. But you already have the number 4 as your life path number. Therefore, if it's acceptable, a pen name with the creative number 3 for the destiny number is likely to help with both the skill and the marketing. See the How to Choose a Professional Name article for more information.

Luck relates to timing, interest, and the geographical area where your work will be read. People's interest in certain genre seems to go in cycles. In the United States, for example, using sales volume as an indication, interest in young adult and children's books is on the rise. Luck has to do with the interest of readers in your geographical area at the time your work is available.

I wish you good fortune and a rewarding career.
