Almost every morning I wake up to some spam e-mail with a self-help message. It is usually about some sprint, some “you-can-do-it-too” malarkey that rarely applies to me or anything I would want to read. In the world of blogging, online writing, or whatever the hell you want to call these trifles we tend to post, there are plenty of cliched and convoluted stories composed by cliched and convoluted archetypes we see circling our inboxes, feeds, and timelines. Most of it noise, of course.
Well said, or typed as it were... I started writing because I want to write and realized that if I turned this into a money making venture, then the joy would be taken away and that I would most likely be compelled to write what sells and not what I want to write, which defeats the purpose of writing in the first place.
Oooofff this got me thinking. Which is a great sign. Amazing article. Thank you.
Wonderful! Thanks for reading, Puja.
Amen.
Thanks for reading, Mr. Gosselin!

Very true, and very common- and thank you.
