I have found in writing, success or failure is not important. Being lucky enough to have independent income, I don't have to grub for pennies, so can concentrate on developing my creativity & trying to express what's in me.
Writing is a process of continuous exploration & curiosity, & the idea is to fail better constantly & always be dissatisfied with your last piece. Dr. Johnson said, "Look at your writing. Any piece you find especially fine--strike out". Satisfaction with your writing means inertia.
Thank you Remiforce for your thoughtful words. It's wonderful to hear your perspective on writing. The freedom that comes from having independent income allows you to focus on the journey of self-expression without the pressure of financial constraints. Embracing failure as a means to improve resonates deeply. Dr. Johnson's advice to strike out what we find especially fine is a powerful reminder to always seek growth and not settle for complacency. Keep embracing this mindset, as it's a path of meaningful creative development.
You by no means are a mediocre, incoherent and inconsistent writer. Each post you put has honesty, flow and a relatedness that makes it easy for others to identify with you.
Yes, I know the kind of writer that you assiduously try to avoid - someone in a one-note samba - mi. Unless you have a total personality transplant transforming into that won’t ever happen. You’re just too genuine a person
Thank you so much Thomas for your incredibly kind and thoughtful words. Your support means a lot to me. I'm truly grateful to know that my efforts to be honest, coherent, and relatable are resonating with others. Your metaphor of a "one-note samba" really captures the essence of what I aim to avoid, and I will continue to strive for improvement while staying true to myself. Your uplifting words inspire me to keep growing as a writer and as a person.
