RE: The Deadpost Initiative - Week 38 - Share your most undervalued work ($15 STEEM rewards last week)
YES!!!
I loved this, because it’s true.
Last year I was in a program, part of which was all about writing ‘copy’ (the name really gives it away doesn’t it?) for sales, to boost my business.
I was writing stuff that people loved. But this coach was saying it wasn’t good enough, not enough engagement (on other social media platforms), not converting to sales....
“Do more of this,” he’d say. “Here, run your writing through this app,” he suggested (Hemingway).
And so I did.
But it no longer became my writing, it became a machine writing.
Then someone who was a fan of my work said they’d noticed a change in my work and said my work started to look like everyone else’s.
Then I found Steemit.
Thanks for the reminder to just write what wants to emerge naturally from within me, whatever that is.
