If you want to be a great writer you have to start off as a bad writer.
After figuring out the basics, and going from zero writing to some writing, you grow to be a mediocre writer.
Then you sit down to write and you realize you’re mediocre and you’re going to have to put in a lot of effort if you want to be great.
It’s an incredibly heavy lift of commitment, learning, refining and risking if you actually want to get great. And there are no guarantees. And you’ll doubt yourself a lot along the way…probably every day. And the money may or may not come.
But being great at a craft, and pursing greatness in a craft, is one of life’s greatest gifts.
