Why don’t I become a writer?
I’ve been thinking about my career recently, and I think it’s time for a change. Whilst I don’t mind account management and it pays well for essentially only being customer service with a little bit of sales, It forces me to work with losers all the time.
I think now is a perfect time for a change of career to something that I can do for the rest of my life.
I do it every day
I write almost every day on Medium and for my side business. I love doing it and I find it really easy. I know I’m not the best writer in the world but I’m definitely good. I’ve been told this by writers and editors.
It’s something that I would have no problem improving on as I consciously do it anyway.
I always feel like I have to say that I’m not a good writer because otherwise people will come out of the woodwork and call me a shit writer for not writing in a way that they like specifically.
I can do it alone
One thing that I despise in the workplace is teamwork. Teamwork leads to dream work as the saying goes, but it doesn’t actually. Teamwork leads to miscommunications, unbalanced contributions, and the loudest idiot always getting their way.
