It’s time to stop trying to be a writer
Don’t worry, no writer was harmed in this content.
I know this may sound like, “what the heck is she talking about?”
Well, I’ve been a writer for over 15 years and a professional content writer for over 7 years, and one thing I can tell you about us as writers is that we are always trying to impress.
You are creating content for a business owner and you want to create content that will impress them and have them keep you on a retainer or hire you again and again.
So, you find out that we are always polishing our words and ensuring that all grammar and optimization rules are obeyed.
But thankfully, you are not a writer (or are you?), so why are you trying to be one? Why are you struggling with polishing words and making them “impress” the people reading them?
Just stop.
Instead of trying to be a writer, communicate.
There’s a shift your content gets when your heart is in what you share. It may not come with the best grammar. It may not follow all the social media rules. But the people whom you have in your heart while creating the content will get it because you are communicating with them. They will see what you are sharing with them, and they will connect.
In the world of today, we go heart first.
Do you understand?
