The Quiet Art of Writing Part-Time In The Noisy World
5 rules I live by as an aspiring writer.
I am an aspiring writer and doing it part-time.
It took me a while to say it out loud.
It still feels a bit weird, though.
For me, writing means dedicating early mornings or weekends to practice and improve my craft.
At times, it’s overwhelming, tiring, and stressful.
I won’t lie to you; it’s plain hard work.
After trying different approaches and experimenting with various techniques, here I am.
Writing this newsletter on a warm Saturday morning, sipping my iced matcha latte, and basking in the sunshine.
If you are like me, writing part-time, here are a few rules I live by.

I spend hours rewriting, editing, and re-editing.

There will always be typos and mistakes, no matter how much time I invest time in editing and proof-reading.
