I write slowly when I care too much

Prolific writers don't fret

I have a confession to make.

I’m jealous of writers like Alex Mathers. He has two biweekly newsletters, a less frequent fiction newsletter, very active X and Instagram profiles. He also dabbles in video and audio and creates exclusive content for his subscribers. While regularly self-publishing ebooks, of course.

Not every one of his posts is a masterpiece. But they often have at least a small nugget of wisdom or a practical tip.

I’m a fairly productive creator. Every week I ship at least two Medium articles (around 1500 words), two short newsletters (300-500 words), a 20-40-minute video, and some tweets. Then I work with clients, study, and so on.

But I’m not at Alex’s level. And I know why.

I take my content too seriously.

What?!?

Wait, I’m not saying I should spew out shallow non-sense just to flood the socials and snatch my slice of visibility.

I’m say…
