Email after email. Guide after guide. I see people offering one thing after another — and it’s exhausting.

It really is.

And not for the first time, I’m left thinking do I want to play this game?

Some players are more committed than I am

I recently launched a community called The Committed Writers Club, so it’s ironic really.

But it’s true.

I’m just not as committed as other creators.

Take my friend, Michael. He’s going ham on all platforms and his business has EXPLODED!

All power to him.

And then there’s Derek who’s super keen and experimental with his work.

I could go on. Sinem. Victoria. Tim. There are so many creators smashing this “making money online” game, and I’m half-assing it.

I feel like a fraud.

Do I want to play any more?

Things have happened in my life over the last eight months — huge, life-altering things that have made me re-evaluate what’s important.
