Do You Write Only for Money? Say Goodbye to Your Writing Ambitions

Do you write just for money?

If yes, then you’re limiting your growth as a writer.

Have you heard the saying, “Dance like no one is watching and sing like no one is listening”?

That’s exactly what great writing feels like.

Imagine singing in the shower versus singing on stage.

Don’t you feel like a superstar while singing in the shower?

Two things make you feel so confident in there:

1. The acoustics make your voice sound amazing.
2. You’re relaxed because nobody is listening.

When you sing in the shower, your vocal cords are relaxed.

You’re not holding back.

You’re naked.

You can easily hit notes you didn’t know you could.

You’re just singing for fun, without pressure.

This freedom lets you perform effortlessly.

Good writing works the same way.

When you write only for money, you become like the singer always performing under pressure.
