This article I happened to stumble upon turned out to be the best advice I have ever read as a writer. How do things in life always work in this way? I am so happy as this especially helps if you have imposter syndrome. Thank you greatly for sharing!
That's ever so kind, thank you! Yes, that imposter syndrome is the bane of far too many incredible creative people. I sincerely wish you every success in letting your writing free from those pesky voices. I've just subscribed to your Scattered Scholar and look forward to reading your Scholar-ly prose.
Love this Martin. A measured, calming bit of writing to help us all take deep breath then carry on. I couldn’t agree more - we just can’t be everyone’s cuppa, can we? Life doesn’t work like that. So if each time we do T hit the mark, let’s shrug and move on.
…..I do try…..and I’m getting better at it. Thanks for your words of wisdom as ever.
Thanks Penny! I'm so glad you're improving with that. Your posts are fab to me, so they resonate with my n of 1. Bring it on!
I feel fortunate that I let both the praise and the criticism roll off happily. I don't take it for granted and don't offer much comment or advice in that direction, because it's not so easy for most peeps. But I do wish it for everyone... Caring deeply about everyone, and also not giving a monkeys at the same time. 😆
As for the images, I love playing around with AI stuff so it goes beyond the usual AI look. The animations have been so satisfying to make!
"Even the best copywriters can't appeal to everyone."
Spot on. You cannot write for everyone.
I find it super freeing. Most seem to find it a challenge, or worse.
I'll write for only myself and for all 8-billion peeps on the planet. That way, I might manage an audience somewhere in between those two extremes...

PS: Forgot to say I LOVE the moving images! They work so well with this.
