To be a writer, you have to write.

As simple as that sounds, it’s shockingly easy to underestimate the importance of this statement. You can’t call yourself a writer if you barely write anything. At that point, you have a fascination with writing or a strong interest in writing, but it’s hard to take someone seriously if they don’t commit to their word.

As much as it pains me to say it, I often fall into this trap myself.

Throughout the past year, I have written as much as possible. My publishing frequency is usually 3–4 high-quality posts per week. Like many working adults, I have responsibilities and other commitments that often impede my creative energy and time management for writing. It’s just a part of being a working, middle-class adult.

However, I know in my heart, I can do better.

That if I really wanted to get serious about it, I can write much more than that while experiencing too much of a drop in quality. If, at all.

Maybe I’m just underestimating my true potential.
