Writing is just so hard. She wishes she could write as if she were chatting with a friend. Heather rereads her favorite quote by Kurt Vonnegut, stuck to her monitor on a yellow Post-it note: Write to please just one person. Pick the right ideas If you’re wondering who I am writing for … Of course, it’s you.

I’ve thought a lot about writing this year. And about the value of writing. Writing has felt as an act of defiance. And, sometime in June, my inner critic tried to tell me writing was a waste of my energy. Quit writing! But I didn’t want to listen to my inner critic. I asked my inner critic to be patient.

One of the hardest things new freelance writers face is the uphill battle of trying to find a dang writing job. It can be challenging if you don’t know where to look or all you see from freelance platforms like Upwork are low-paying writing jobs. But, you know what I haven’t done to help you out?

When I started using LinkedIn as a freelance writer, I thought of it as a resume platform. I soon learned there was more to optimizing your profile than just listing your past work. If I switched up my LinkedIn profile to align with my new career as a freelance writer, I would be getting leads on tap.

It’s easy for writers and copywriters to roll their eyes when they hear about AI writing tools. At their current level of performance, these tools often produce generic, slightly robotic text that can’t entirely replicate that unique human touch in writing. It’s the same with AI writing tools. I don’t need to change.”

Using AI to write copy and content offers incredible productivity benefits. That’s why I advocate leading with a high level of emotional intelligence. At every stage of using these AI writing tools, ask yourself how to make the copy more emotionally engaging. But… AI output can feel dry and generic. AI tools can’t smell!

Freelance and in-house writers are relying too heavily on AI tools like ChatGPT to write their sales copy, content, and social media updates. When you use the same tool as every other writer, you begin to churn out writing that feels generic, flat… and the same as everything else out there. I’m all for using AI… I use it myself.

This is why you should never depend on an AI to write the final drafts of your copy or content. The key here is not to avoid using AI as a tool in your writing toolkit.
