the Potent Writer

Is it Worth it?

If you want to be a writer, you must write. Yet, many get lost in courses, videos, and podcasts, avoiding the obvious: writing. Writing is a skill, and rules exist, but not everyone knows them all. Understanding the building blocks—words, punctuation, structure—is crucial. Accept current rules, and success may let you bend them. To get published, you might need to align with others\' expectations, impacting your creativity. Still, sometimes compromise is necessary to achieve your goals.

Regardless of what you\'re writing—a note, a message, or an email—maintain high standards. Consistency is key; practice ensures you can perform under pressure. Writing is a skill honed through continuous effort, essential even when comfort eludes you. Just as you don\'t prepare for a marathon by watching movies, becoming a writer requires consistent practice—every word is a chance to improve.
