Keep Writing Even If It Seems That No One Is Reading
It’s tough, isn’t it? I know. The process of writing, choosing the perfect words, investing time in research, and not to mention, the tireless editing and revising. Keep writing.
You pour your heart and soul into creating a blog post, article, or book, only to be met with silence. No comments, no likes, and certainly no sign-ups to your mailing list. It leaves you wondering: Is anyone out there? Does anyone care about what I have to say? Keep writing.
It is at moments like these that it becomes crucial that you keep writing, because here’s the truth—someone is reading. Someone is listening. Someone is hearing your words. Even if you can’t see it in the numbers or the comments section, you are making an impact on that one person. And that, my fellow writers, is what truly matters.
Sure, it’s disheartening not to see an avalanche of feedback, but take heart in the knowledge that your words are connecting with at least one individual. You are helping, inspiring, or entertaining that one person. Your unique perspective, experiences, and insights matter to them.
So, the next time you doubt whether anyone is reading or listening, remember the one person who is. Your impact goes beyond the metrics, and that’s something to be proud of.
Thank your readers, whether they are few or one. Consistently show up for them by writing, even when it feels challenging (trust me, I’m still grappling with this too). I have to remind myself all the time that by consistently delivering content, you and I can strengthen our connection with our existing audience and lay the groundwork for reaching more readers in the future.
Dear writers, when you’re tempted to put down the pen or close the laptop, remember that your words matter, and your impact is real. Your readers, be they many or few, appreciate what you bring to their lives. And When motivation wanes, and discouragement tries to sneak in, read this article again and remember: you are making a difference, one reader at a time.
