#1 Write for yourself.
Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.
—Cyril Connolly
Write for yourself and everyday. You can either write for yourself or one another but not thousand of people. If you think about thousand of people it’ll drive you crazy. In the end you are going bro disappoint yourself. You just cannot Impress everyone. With this you many neglect the crowd but you will attract ocean of same minded people. Writing for yourself allows you to explore yourself. It unlocks your passion. And in the end some of your best writing come from this.
If still you are struggling to write for yourself, don’t worry. By following simple steps we will explore ourselves.
Examine yourself.
By asking few questions to yourself you’ll get some ideas. What upsets you? What is frustrating you? What’s the one thing that tick you off? Take notes of this. Spend some time with nature and explore yourself. Maybe this bothers other people too. And it’s merely an exercise to get you started. If it takes you somewhere, let it.
Call yourself out in order to grow.
Whenever we start dreaming and starts to work towards it, fear start to creeps in. This fear comes in the form of excuse. I’m not capable, I’m busy etc. Call out some unhealthy and unproductive habits that you have. Do it in a motivational way. And make yourself accountable to get rid of this habits. Take it as a challenge and be honest with yourself.
Solve your own problems

You need to genuinely solve the problems of people not just to make money. By doing this you will get experience and people will trust you.
