Writing every day requires a new inspiration every day. This is so hard! But I agree with you that stability is the most important thing in everything in life. Stable life! Thanks for your article.

And focus. If you focus on writing online (part time) you can really transform your life and yourself.

My whole issue with consistency is- my narrative of whom I am or what I want to do might change as I dig deeper into my craft- writing. When I find my voice late it will have to change. How does consistency fit into all this? Will I lose my audience or will they naturally start to follow the new me?

Hi Zarine, I think this is part of the journey. Writing online is definetly transformative. I started writing about parenting topics back in 2020. Now I write about marketing, social media, writing and online businesses. May people miss my personal stories but from time to time I still share my (messy) stories online.

Don't be afraid. I bet people will love the writer you'll become.

Hugs!

Hi Kristina. That's quite a journey..from parenting to 'writing' as a topic.

I think I'm discovering a college passion to become a copywriter but it's too early to say & a long road uphill as I have no experience in the line.

Thank you for your encouragement :) You rock!

I vote for consistency too. Easy once x becomes a habit.

Hi Mark, Exactly! 💯 If we can make writing or content creating a habit we practice every day, we'll see and feel magic. ✨ It's all about slow growth. I wish you a relaxing weekend,Mark. Talk soon ❤️

Hi Sue, oh many 🙏. This post was inspired by a conversation with a fellow writer last week about discipline. It's more about dedication and I really believe of you're showing up and feel a little bit uncomfortable every single day you grow and will see and feel the magic happen. 🪄

I wish you a wonderful weekend! All the best, Kristina

Super motivational. I really felt stuck although I was in a flow state the last past weeks. Now I will definetly put pen to paper and finish my project. Thanks so much! Wanted to share it via Twitter but it says there's an error. I guess Musk doesn't want Substack content on his platform... Have a nice weekend! I'll refer your newsletter

Hi, thanks so much 🌸 this was meant as an inspirational and motivational piece. Abit different from my usual advice or how to articles. It was inspired by a conversation with a writing pal who said he thinks I would be so *disciplined*. It's not discipline. It's dedication, sweat, tears and fun. When I write online I'm my own boss. That's what I like the most. Plus, I'm very proud of me when I manage to be consistent even if it's only 15 minutes before work. All the best for your project! I'm cheering you on.

Hi Mitchell, I feel you. I suggest asking yourself why you're doing this. Like ten times. Let's say you start with... Because I want to sell more books. Okay... So why are you doing this? For me, it's having more freedom for me and my family. That's my goal and what I'm fighting for.

Hope this helps a little ❤️

So true. We need to stand together. If I see an interesting post from you, I'll restack it. Are you planning to join Medium? You could repurpose your Substack posts.
