Think about the content you seek out in your free time. The newsletters you read. The podcasts you listen to. The YouTube channels you subscribe to.

Today’s post is by author Catherine Baab-Muguira ( @CatBaabMuguira ). Years ago, I had a freelance article go viral, or at least modestly viral, racking up over 50,000 Facebook shares. I received my first-ever invitations to appear as a guest on podcasts and even NPR. I also received dozens of friendly and often deeply personal messages from readers, plus a handful of job offers, right out of the blue.

It’s one of the most asked questions in my inbox … Why is writing so hard? And variations of that question: What should I do when the words don’t flow? How can I get my thoughts on paper? What are the routines that make writing easier? I always try to help people out. But my answers by email feel insufficient. Writing IS hard. Yet, there are ways to make writing more joyful.

In common with most freelancers and entrepreneurs, I’m a risk-taker. It’s risky to run your own business. It’s risky when you have bills to pay, but no guarantee that you will be picking up new projects next month. But that’s the nature of being a freelance writer or copywriter. We take risks because we like the freelance lifestyle, and because we hope to earn more than we would as an employee.

A mutual friend urged me to approach this writer with a question about how to publish the book I was working on. I hesitated for all the right reasons: I didn’t know this writer, why would he share this precious information with me?

Writers write, right? They spend their days drafting, rewriting, and finalizing and their nights dreaming about perfectly crafted sentences and what’s next. But what writers may not realize is if they go too long without a break, they’ll show signs of their dedication with a writer’s callus. If you prefer writing outlines and drafts by hand, you may have experienced a writer’s callus before.
