I Thought It's Easy, But It's Not Easy to Write (A Beginner's Struggles)
When I first ventured into the world of freelance writing, I thought it would be easy. (Just like every beginner I guess)
How hard could it be to put thoughts into words? But soon, I discovered the reality: writing is a craft that demands more than just basic skills.
Yes! more than just basic skills.
Sitting down to write a blog post. The idea is clear in your mind, but as you start typing, the words don’t come out right. You rewrite the same sentence over and over, trying to capture the essence of your thoughts. Hours pass, and the blank page stares back at you, almost mockingly.
Or you’ve just finished an article, feeling a sense of accomplishment. You send it to your client, only to receive feedback that it doesn’t quite hit the mark.
They want it rewritten – the tone adjusted, the structure changed. You’re back to square one, with doubt creeping in about your abilities.
As a beginner, these struggles is overwhelming. The path to becoming a skilled writer is fraught with challenges. There’s the pressure to produce high-quality content, the constant need to refine your skills, and the inevitable self-doubt that comes with putting your work out there.
But here’s what I’ve learned:
every struggle is a stepping stone.
Each piece of constructive feedback is a lesson.
Every rewrite is an opportunity to improve.
The difficulty of writing isn’t a sign of inadequacy; it’s a testament to the complexity and beauty of the craft.
To the beginners out there, know that you’re not alone. Your struggles are shared by many, including those who have now found their stride.
Keep pushing through,
keep learning, and most importantly,
keep writing.
The journey may be tough, but it’s also incredibly rewarding.
