Speak on it! I really resonated with a lot of your thoughts. I think it's often why I find myself taking months-long pause after cranking out content for the same amount of time. I sit and scold myself for losing momentum or I label myself as lazy and unmotivated ... although I do care about accomplishing my writing/publishing dreams more than anything in the world. But with a full-time job, a Substack, my own novel, and short-form content creation on TikTok -- what else can we expect? IDK. Especially because I am rather unknown in any industry outside my 9-5 ... I don't see how else I can get my name and work in the right spaces. All in all, thanks for writing this! A whole lot of creatives are going to feel seen.
Thanks for reading and commenting! It's hard because we have to do it, but it's taking so much time away from what we actually want/need/whatever to be doing!! It's another job, but it's one we must have now to get our name out there. I'm glad you resonated with this.
The whole everyone is basically a content creator now thing just reminds me of Scott Westerfield’s book “Extras” where everyone is just vlogging in this dystopian future. Gives me the willies for sure
