Why did you first have the idea to become a writer? I could be wrong, but it was probably because you read a book that touched you so deeply, that pierced you to your core, that you thought, “Wouldn’t it be amazing to inspire this feeling in others?”
Why We Become Writers:-
In other words, you first dreamed of becoming a writer not to get famous, not to become a New York Times bestseller, not so you could tell people at parties, “I’m an author. Aren’t I amazing?”
No, you first dreamed of becoming a writer to create a deep connection. You wanted another person to know how you felt. You wanted to change someone’s life.
5 Lies Distracting You From Your Purpose:-
But as you thought more about becoming a writer, and as you talked about your dream with others, doubts and
distractions arose:
Skepticism: How are you going to make a living as a writer?
Vanity: could writing make you famous?
Pride: I’m a much better writer than Stephenie Meyer?
Fear: But what if I’m rejected?
Doubt: No one is going to read my writing anyway. What’s the point?
Slowly, that original desire became distorted until you can actually believe your main goal is just to be a bestselling author, when in reality, you want so much more. You want to change the world.
