What I found while exploring the depths of my insanity.

I have been writing on medium for nine months and haven’t made any money. I have recently come to realize that is because my writing stinks.

No one told me that, some people even said nice things, but I know the truth.

In my defense, I have no experience writing, only a desire to write. And I have been writing and enjoying the experience regardless of the lack of money so far.

But my landlord doesn’t accept my enjoyment as rent, so I need to make money writing.

I think I figured out the secret.

I need to write better. But what does that mean?

I have read all the articles about how to write viral headlines and make more money. But I need to be a better thinker and writer, to make my words meaningful.

I like to write about philosophy and psychology, but I am not an expert in either. I am just a guy who is interested in life and wants to understand himself and others better. So that’s what I write about.

When I write I always make sure to have a point or some value to the reader. I even come up with a good thought now and then, but that is where it ends.

My writing doesn’t affect more people because it doesn’t apply to or interest most people.

I am sharing a thought or idea but that is it. I offer it up with little else to explain myself. So readers aren’t inspired or intrigued enough to care.

If I want to write better I need to think more.

Now when I have an idea I want to share I dig deeper, what is the point? why does it matter? why should people care?

I have a desire to write, from deep inside, I’m not sure what but something’s in there. To be a better writer I need to figure out where that desire is coming from.

There must be something inside I need to let out, something I need to share with the world.

It’s my belief we are all here on earth for a reason and have a part to play in life.

For me, with my inner desire as my guide, I will plunge into the depths of my insanity.

Being lazy and scratching along the surface of life doesn’t help anyone, and leaves me miserable.

By diving into my mind and exploring all the peaks and valleys I will learn about myself and life in general.

The ideas I discover, which come from the depths of truth will serve as topics for writing.

I am naturally inquisitive and think about these things all the time, I know I need to share them with the world.

We get out of life what we put in. I haven’t done much in life, therefore, I don’t have much in life.

The way we get the most from life is to live it.

I’m not wasting any more time scratching with a rake, I’m using a backhoe. To dig to the depths of my soul, Then use my mind to shine the rocks into jewels, and share them with you.
