There will be ups and downs, you just gotta roll with the punches.

We’ve all experienced it.

Weeks go by, you’re writing daily, even publishing multiple times on a good day.

The ideas are flowing, words come easily to you, this is the best feeling in the world, I love writing and it’s so freeing, carefree and fun.

I wanna do this for the rest of my life!

Each piece you publish and promote receives a ton of positive feedback. The readers love your work and express this via claps, highlights and by leaving comments.

Finally. You’re beginning to gain some traction with your profile.

The numbers slowly increase.

Followers, views, reads, fans are all steadily rising.

This is what you’ve been working towards over the past few months.

You finish up your most recent piece. You’ve read it, re-read it, completed an edit or two, run it through Grammarly to check for mistakes, added the relevant tags and are now ready to send it off into the world.

Another successful piece was written. Ahh, life is good.
