Too many people chase the idea of being a writer instead of focusing on what truly matters.
We get caught up in labels, in validation, in wanting to “look” like a writer—yet miss the point entirely.
I wrote about this trap in my latest blog:
👉 Don’t Be a Writer (Until You Understand This)
The gist:
Writing is not about the identity of “writer”
It’s about the process, the mindset, and what comes before/after words
If you’re chasing the title instead of the practice, you’ll burn out
Would love to hear from this community:
What’s the biggest misconception you see among new writers?
