Fearless Writing
🙌 Hey Brave Writers,
Since the start of COVID-19 and the global lockdown, Medium has gained thousands of new writers. Kudos to Medium. But what does it mean for us, writers?
Well, more competition. Stress and anxiety are on our plate every day.
No matter if you are a full-time writer or if it’s only your night job, writing is not an easy process. To be a successful writer, you need to build a habit; you need the proper mindset and motivation.
Being a writer takes courage. And our writers know that.
I want to take the time to appreciate the work of our writers. You are outstanding. Thank you for motivating us every day to write and keep going. You are brave.
One week has gone by, and it’s time to celebrate the small wins. This month we have welcomed over 200 new writers. We have an average of 446 visitors per day, and we totaled 20.500 views this month. We are now a community with 1582 followers.
Thank you for making this possible.
If you want to be part of the community and miss nothing, don’t forget to subscribe to our newsletter and to follow us on Twitter.
Now, here are the best stories from The Brave Writer.

Why I Chose My Novel Protagonist to Be a Male by Sude Hammal
We are raised to believe all major writers are male because almost all writers that are in the world classics collections and best-selling novel corners are males (and mostly white ones).
…
I would encourage other female writers to write about powerful, ground-breaking, inspiring women in their works. Because the world still needs that, maybe more than ever. Change has just begun, and it needs all of our contributions.
