Being a Better Writer: So Make Your Own · 7:58pm Jun 29th, 2020
Welcome back readers, to another episode of Being a Better Writer! This week’s entry is a bit of an odd one. In fact, I almost tipped it over to an OP-ED piece initially, but upon thinking about it realize that yes, it was an important writing topic, if a little more unusual than normal. So we’re talking about it for this week’ Being a Better Writer.
But really quick (and I do mean quick, no worries) I do want to issue a heads-up to all prior Alpha Readers: the pre-Alpha for Axtara – Banking and Finance will like finish up today or early tomorrow morning. So this week, Alpha invites will go out!
That’s it! I did say it was quick. It’s also really good news. The last I’ll say on it is that I have immensely enjoyed my time prepping Axtara for Alpha. It’s a lot of fun.
So then, with that bit of excellent news spoken for, let’s get down to today’s topic. Which is, again, a bit weird, even if the title is anything to go by. So for a moment, to explain, let’s talk about some of the weird social climates around the process of creating.
Stuff like this is why I made it a point early on never to take commissions. It's bad enough feeling obligated to my own standards, but at least I have some measure of leniency if I fail those standards. Feeling obligated to someone else is an easy way to reduce my enjoyment of writing.
I can't think of much else to say except: "Thanks for the post." I might not comment, but I do read and enjoy posts like these.
