WRITING IS NOT FOR YOU IF...- BY SAKEENAH' WRITES

Dear YOU, writing is not for you if:

✓ YOU are NOT ready to be CONSISTENT.

✓ YOU are NOT ready to be PATIENT.

✓ YOU are NOT ready to EMBRACE CRITICISM even when it STINGS.

✓ YOU are NOT willing to be COMMITTED even when there are no REWARDS ATTACHED.

✓ YOU are NOT interested in GROWING beyond your comfort zone.

✓ YOU are NOT ready to WRITE even when inspiration is nowhere to be found.

✓ YOU are NOT ready to INVEST your TIME, COMFORT, AND MONEY in your GROWTH.

To be a PROFICIENT and SOUGHT-AFTER writer, then you must do these 5 things:

✓ SHOW UP consistently, even when the words don’t flow effortlessly.

✓ EMBRACE the discomfort of rewriting, editing, and rewriting again.

✓ LEARN from every critique and failure, using them as stepping stones.

✓ EXPLORE new horizons and write in genres or styles that challenge your creativity

✓ INVEST in your craft through continuous learning, workshops, and community, even when it's tough.

Dear YOU, not just in writing, but the journey towards becoming great, sought-after and proficient at ANYTHING is NOT easy, but in the end, IT'S ALL WORTH IT. So, are you ready to put in the work and endure the odds that comes with being a PROFICIENT writer?
