Answers To The Biggest Questions Writers Have

Based on the number of times they are asked

I am not the official boss question answerer for all the writers in the world. However, I have been working as a writer, editor, and publisher for a long time, and over those years, I’ve found that writers often ask me the same questions.

Maybe they don’t ask in the same words each time, but after a while, the questions sorted themselves into themes. The answers were similar enough that I could offer an answer that would work for a particular person and help them customize their solution if they needed.

Author’s note: As far as I know, nobody ever asked me questions about personal writing they never published. If that’s what they had in mind, they never told me.

Second author’s note: I am plainspoken; not rude, just plainspoken. I also see things in the world differently than many people. And I answer questions in that way.

This is the biggest thing most writers want to know. There are several parts to the answer to this question. This is the “usual answer”:

What a bunch of nonsense to tell someone, especially someone who is just starting. If a writer cared only about writing, they could keep a journal under their bed and write in that. Problem solved.

But that’s not what someone who has this question needs for an answer.

This question is about fear and self-worth. What they’re really asking is what readers’ opinions are going to be, or if readers are going to have an opinion in the first place.

Here’s what I tell people who have this question.
