The Brutal Truth That Will Set You Free
Ever notice how people scroll through their phones while you're mid-sentence? That's the reality every writer faces: nobody wants to read your sh*t. Not because they're mean - they're just busy. Between endless Netflix queues, buzzing notifications, and social media rabbit holes, why should anyone care about your novel, blog post, or business proposal? This isn't personal rejection - it's the starting point of all great writing. When Steven Pressfield first learned this lesson in advertising, it transformed his approach forever. The solution isn't to give up - it's to make your writing so compelling that readers would be crazy to look away. This means developing what advertisers call "the hook" - that irresistible element that grabs attention and won't let go. When you truly understand nobody wants to read your sh*t, you develop empathy. You stop assuming readers owe you their attention and recognize that capturing it is your sacred duty. The writing becomes about them, not you. For years, Pressfield's writing screamed of effort and fakery. Even when describing real events from his life, everything came out hollow. Meanwhile, reading Hemingway or Henry Miller, every phrase rang like gold. His breakthrough came unexpectedly - through personal letters. Writing to friends, he'd occasionally stop and think, "Wow, that sounds like me." In letters, he wasn't "trying" to write; he was simply communicating. Voice isn't manufactured - it emerges when we stop trying to sound like writers and focus on clear communication. It develops through practice, through millions of keystrokes and erasures. The cells remember. Something changes fundamentally, even when we can't articulate how. This journey often comes with pressure to quit. Bosses offer promotions, friends give concerned looks, everyone wonders when you'll rejoin normal society. Yet something inside won't let you stop writing, even when logic suggests you should.
