Being a greeting card writer is a very profitable job, especially when you are employed by big clubs like Hallmark and Blue Mountain. And when you add in the psychic earnings benefits - touching people's lives and in effect enjoying your job - you have a very viable work for you. But do you have these personal qualities?
Sympathy and Empathy
These are two very different, yet very related, characteristics. You cannot feel empathy if you have not in effect experienced the situation that produced the feelings of someone else but you can feel condolence even if you have only read about it.
If you are so wrapped up in your own exiguous world, not even all the best Cross pens in the world can make you a good writer of greeting cards, or of other reading materials for that matter. You have to embrace other habitancy and their feelings!
This does not mean that you have to be everything and do everything. Often, you just need to read on various topics to collect varying frames of reference. And if you have active relationships with family and friends, you have a goldmine of emotions just waiting to be tapped and written by Cross pens at your disposal!
Openness of Heart
This does not mean that you have to be emotionally vulnerable at all times. You have to be able to open your heart to emotions that would have been thought about too "Drama Queen" or too "Hallmark schmaltzy" or "too Forrest Gump foolish" were you in less-creative and less-emotionally animated careers.
You should write from the heart if you want to touch the heart of the readers. This way, you will encourage them to touch their wallets, too. You never concept that your talent with wielding those Cross pens to write sappy poems could lead to plane finances, right?
Originality and Freshness
There are thousands of greeting card writers in the world. Your traditional and fresh ideas will make you stand out from the crowd, especially when these are witty and smart. And lest you think that you will not be recognized for your work, some clubs do rejoinder authorship of the cards!
These characteristics collect more importance when you understand that you will be writing for a very exiguous range of topics. You will have to write perhaps hundreds of cards all relating to birthdays, Valentine's Day, Christmas Day, and other holidays as well as lovers' quarrels, mother-daughter spats and other all-too-human situations. This brings up the next characteristics, which are perhaps the most important of all.
Grit and Determination
Not all writers get to have their works published on their maiden effort. Your works might be rejected over and over again, which can be quite disheartening after as your rejection mail piles up.
Nevertheless, you should never give up your writing Cross pens and paper! Instead, you have to keep on writing and writing and writing. As a greeting card writer, you cannot even put writer's block as an excuse because you have to furnish a set quota of cards. Inspiration is good but yield is better.
Of course, you will need writing talent, preferably loads of it. But without these personal qualities, your talent will be wasted.
