The best writing actually requires less work
The Confident Writer course is here
You want to write.
But you often think, “Who am I to write about this? Who would even care?”
So you hold back, convinced that if you don’t have something groundbreaking, it’s not worth posting.
You want to know your writing matters.
You want to hit publish and trust that someone, somewhere, will read it and think, “This was exactly what I needed to hear.”
But years of writing online have shown me that people don’t follow me because I have the most original ideas.
I really don’t.
I get followed because they relate to what I say.
They relate to my unique way of saying things. Stuff that comes naturally to me, especially with a bit of practice.
I always found it funny that the stuff I thought wasn’t that big a deal often turned out to be my most liked writing.
If you’ve been holding back because you think your writing isn’t special enough, you’re missing the truth.
People aren’t looking for grandiose ideas from superior people.
They are hankering for something — someone — relatable.
And relatability is easiest when speaking honestly about everyday life stuff.
Not trying to be so clever.
That’s where you come in.
If you need more guidance to start writing, The Confident Writer course helps you. It shows you what to write about, who to write for, and where to start as it relates to your interests and skills.
Ember subscribers get early free access to this new course this Sunday, as well as ongoing mini-courses each month that will help you be a top 1% writer.
(This is not for dawdlers - that’s why it isn’t cheap - this subscription is for you if you’re committed)
