Absolutely spot on - especially Point 3! I write for a job and also write on here and this whole piece really resonated with me so thanks a lot 👊

“I write to find the others” sounds like one of those phrases seth godin would say about building community.

Yes! "Finding the others" is fast becoming one of those potentially worn-out phrases that has lost some of its meaning. But I wanted to use a phrase that was clear rather than clever, something that many people would understand at a glance

This is great - writers are a unique breed, we're one of the people who will genuinely live utterly broke if it means we get to focus on our dreams. Money is (very) nice, but writers are persistent - especially those like you, who know why you write. True writers have bigger dreams than green bills.

Very cool, I hadn't really looked at it that way but yes writing definitely provides me all those things. And above all its about the wellbeing for me, I really do feel better when I write.
