Or can I become a writer in control of my own days?

I want to be able to decide how I spend my days. I love writing and I want to have the opportunity to write every day. My dream is to be creative and to inspire others with my writing. I would like to teach my children that it is possible to create their own job. I hope to get an income from writing at a later date, but this is not the primary goal now.

Will I be able to consistently produce content? Am I capable of writing day after day? Will I find the time? Can I overcome my imposter syndrome and hit the green scary Publish button? Can I find the required focus? Do I have what it takes to become a writer?

My Writing Challenge

For the next four weeks, I am challenging myself to post continuously. I will experiment within different topics and I must write the intimidating About Me story.

So here is my challenge: From Monday 17 May to Sunday 13 June I will publish 3 posts per week. For me, this will be a huge increase in productivity. Effectivity hasn’t been my thing so far. I have published one story in March, one in April and this is the fourth so far in May. It is time to step it up.

I have used so freaking long time on my previous posts.

In this post I am breaking one of the big rules for writing: write for the reader. This mainly for my accountability. However, if there are any new writers out there, you are more than welcome to join. Let me know if you too struggle with producing content and want to participate in this challenge. We can support each other during the weeks of writing.

I have been really ambivalent about posting this. What if I can’t make it? What if life gets in my way? Can I be more effective? I have used so freaking long time on my previous posts. I have to learn to work differently.

This is my commitment. 3 posts a week for the next 4 weeks.

I will grant myself the opportunity to become a writer. If I don’t succeed, my backup plan is to apply for a day job.
