Ugh, so much of this resonated! I really enjoy writing and I in no way reject any abundance that is destined to come my way, but that's about as much of a plan as I have. I'm happy with that, but it seems to confuse people. Many are supportive but some don't like the idea that you can create online and not have a defined end goal. I loved what you said at the end too about the freedom that's unlocked when you don't have a boss to answer to about your writing.
So funny you say that. When I found you online, my first thought was to determine what your game plan is & I was so happy that I couldn't figure it out. Because it probably doesn't exist.
It’s really taken a lot for me to reel back the “content creator” side of me and actually embrace being an artist, or my writing being about creative fulfillment.
I think the root of it is a desperation to leverage any asset to escape what people feel is a terrible system they can’t get ahead in. That desperation leads to pressure, and not everyone is cut out for the pressure of their own business.
