It’s the start of a new year. Are you ready to take the next step in your writing career?
If not, that’s okay. Do it anyway.
Because no writer ever got anywhere waiting until he/she was “ready.”
5 Advantages Risk Takers Have Over Writers Who Play It Safe
Look around and you’ll see—successful writers are risk-takers.
That means they do things before they feel completely “ready” to do them.
Writers are often by nature a cautious bunch. We like to make sure everything is right before we take that leap. That’s usually a good approach when it comes to the writing itself, but it can stunt your growth in the rest of your writing career.
Thanks for sharing this, Chris. I think 2021 is the year for taking chances, especially with indie creatives. In a very short span of time we’ve watched the entire world go from “what could go wrong,” to a distinct “what do we have to lose” kind of reality. It’s all good, because artists thrive in this space.
