The Writer's Journey

Every morning, you find yourself staring at your overflowing inbox, feeling both overwhelmed and underwhelmed.

I see you. Yes, you. You know exactly what I'm referring to. When you embarked on this writing adventure, you were uncertain about the landscape. Your only goal was to gather as much information as possible, no matter how scattered it seemed.

After spending months piecing together valuable insights, you’ve gained a clearer understanding of the writing realm. You’ve grown more knowledgeable, almost like a seasoned guide in this wilderness of words. But there’s a little snag...

How many of those countless emails have you actually read? Let’s be honest—how many did you even bother to open? It’s okay to admit it; the number is likely in the low teens. If that’s the case, take heart: You are not alone. You are not a failure. You’ve done exactly what any ambitious new writer would do—you sought quality amidst a sea of quantity.

Just like every other aspiring writer, you’ve been on the lookout for the best amidst the noise. If you’ve been consistently producing your own content, you’ve probably gained a few subscribers as well. Go ahead and give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back; you’re in the same boat as many others.

Your work is probably read just as frequently as you read others. You’re part of this ecosystem now. You are a writer.

Say it with me: You. Are. A. Writer.

Embrace this truth, and watch the shadows of Imposter Syndrome fade away!

A Message of Encouragement

This is a gentle reminder for everyone navigating this challenging journey.

Before I wrap this up and head off to rest, consider those names in your inbox. How many of them are still writing? It might be time to unsubscribe from those who have stopped producing content. The ones that remain are the voices worth paying attention to.

Strive to be among those who consistently contribute valuable insights to the inboxes you occupy. Keep pushing forward. Keep evolving. Enjoy your journey, and resist the urge to second-guess your path.
