Good advice, George! It’s completely normal to feel discouraged about writing if you don’t see any return from it. And on platforms like these, the real return is, first and foremost, the recognition that someone sees and reads what you have written and published. That, in principle, is enough for me. Earning a few dollars from what I publish is just an extra bonus—and that happens quite rarely these days.
The most important thing is to nurture and develop the joy of writing. And I believe the best way to do that is by following my instincts. For me, that means listening to and capturing the ideas that come to me, especially in the morning or before noon.
The ability to dictate what we want to write has become an incredibly valuable tool, making the writing process even more accessible and intuitive.
