I Paid for Some Writing Course, and I Got Zero Followers.What am I Doing Wrong???
Is it my breath?
Some of the stupid theories tried to sound like a result of actual experience.
‘Hey, Don!”
One of my readers hollered at me. “I’ve been writing here a couple of years now, and I ain’t got scat for followers or money.”
“Well, who is your audience? Who are you talking to when you write?”
“I think it’s a couple of guys up in Ohio.”
“What problem do they have?”
“They are presently in an institution up there for three more years.”
“Are you maybe just writing to yourself?”
“If you write on Medium, you know, Medium is a place where writers write about how writers write for Medium.”
You know that anybody or any search engine could tell a writer what to do, but only you can tell itthe way you can tell it. So tell it. Your way.
And remember, be funny if you feel funny. Everything is humorous on some level. If your writing keeps you amused, then it’s likely to keep others amused, too.
If it’s not funny, it’s not worth your time. Life is too short. Be happy.
Until next week.
That is why we, here at the Real-Life Academy of Big-Time Writing, simply refuse to teach our new writers anything but the cold hard facts of real-life storytelling.
No stupid theories here to make you cry upon discovering the truth. No having to up your meds on our account. You’re welcome.
