Why You Can’t Write Consistently (And How to Fix it).
Understanding this is a game-changer.
Every writer wants to produce tons of content, build a loyal audience, and make money online.
But only some can achieve true success.
What’s the reason?
Several factors affect writing success. But one of the main reasons why most aspiring writers fail is resistance.
Fix your inner self
Steven Pressfield wrote a famous book called The War of Art, where he defines resistance as an opposing force that keeps creators from fulfilling their dreams.
This resistance is usually internal rather than external.
Most creators self-sabotage themselves, which causes failure. They have self-doubt and procrastinate to create more.
It’s the same with writers.
Most writers seek external outcomes — views, likes, shares, earnings, etc. — rather than focusing on producing more work.
Writers who focus too much on these metrics won’t succeed because they feel frustrated when they don’t see the desired results.
