Ah, I needed to read this. Thank you, Mike! I, too, have been wanting and wishing to write THE article that goes viral… and then I realized that was only creating pressure and blocking my flow of words, and taking all the enjoyment out of it (ah — the bliss of writing a post just for yourself, without focusing on how it will be perceived or what the outcome will be!)
This article was just what I needed to read. I expect wanting to go viral is the writer’s equivalent of winning the lottery… sounds great, but when it actually happens, it comes with its own set of problems ;)
Here’s to writing for the enjoyment of it, aimed at the people who love our work — however small or large that group may be :)
