Unlock the Secret Ingredient That Transforms Your Writing from Average to Unforgettable!
As writers, we often chase dreams that glitter like the pages of our favorite novels: getting published, raking in cash, or finally quitting that day job. But what if I told you that the true treasure lies not in the accolades, but in the hearts of the readers? Picture this: your carefully crafted words resonating so deeply that they linger in someone’s mind long after the last page is turned. That’s what many of us are really after! In this article, I’ll dive into the essence of why focusing on our readers not only fulfills our creative spirits but also paves the way to genuine success. Curious to find out how? Let’s explore this together. LEARN MORE.
The reader is everything
What’s your main goal as a writer? Getting published? Making money? Being able to give up the day job?
Or is it simply resonating deeply with your readers? That’s my main goal and has been for a while. It’s no coincidence that since setting that goal I’ve been widely published, made decent money as a writer, and been able to give up the day job.
Writing that resonates deeply with your readers is what leads to success and is probably the most satisfying part of being a writer. Because it’s not, for most of us, the wonderfully fulfilling vocation we thought it might be.
Colleen M. Story wrote recently about how oddly disappointing the life of a writer can be. The day you get that first book published is often the culmination of a life-long dream, yet it can be a total anti-climax. Winning awards and accolades isn’t as life-changing as we expect. Nor is hitting a bestseller list.
These things matter, of course. They make us very happy in the moment. They’re something to be proud of, for sure. But the real reward of being a writer is often something different, found somewhere unexpected.
