Why Are You Hustling? Writing Isn't a Hustle.
You can't grow an audience and build a successful writing career or business hustling content online. But you can…
You can't hustle the writing process. Let's make this clear before I begin. Writing takes time. Writing requires focus. And writing can be challenging if you haven't learned specific skills and techniques.
If you want to get better at writing, you must write daily or almost daily, study writing, and, yes, tweak your writing process from time to time as you grow. The writing style I practiced ten years ago as a writer isn't the writing style I practice today. My work has evolved.
Yes, I developed a daily writing practice 17 years ago, and guess what? I'm still learning.
A Little Thing Called Humility
A writer with a long career will tell you the same thing. Writing requires discipline and a certain level of humility you can't explain to anyone else but another writer. You may be pleased with a work, a story, a piece, a poem, a novel, but you never take the attitude that you've mastered writing. Never.
So, it is infuriating when a writer sees another individual treating the gift and art of writing like something you hustle on the street.
