Why most writers fail
Trying to throw some gritty inspiration at you guys today! Have an inward look and think about what writing really means to you, and whether you enjoy writing or having written, because the difference might seem subtle, but I believe is a very important distinction to make.
Here’s why 97% of writers never finish their books.
Almost every other person has once had an inkling to write a book, and so many have started writing, only to give up a few pages in. Why?
This can happen for a lot of reasons, and if you haven’t finished your book yet, you might find yourself in one of these reasons:
📌 You’ve never finished a short-form story before.
📌 You’re not familiar with story structures or you go straight in without planning.
📌 You expect it to be perfect on first go.
📌 You have a serious fear of failure.
📌 You’re not dedicated enough or you lose your passion and interest.
📌 You’re bad at taking feedback.
📌 You keep restarting.
And these reasons are all valid - But the real truth of it all?
Writing a book is mighty difficult.
It’s a long-process, and one that’s not instantly-gratifying. Humans love instant gratification - and when they find writing won’t give them that, they give up.
The fact of the matter is: writing is not a hobby driven by gratification, but rather by perseverance, hard work, and a lot of thinking and rethinking.
It’s likely that even with a finished book, you’ll still feel you could have done better.
But that’s also the beauty of it. Writing is not made to be a seeking of gratification, but rather an attempt to understand more about ourselves and our world.
