The Pressure to Destroy: How I Went from a Cheerful Voice to a Poisonous Person
When I first started writing, I believed that to succeed in the industry, I had to adopt a ruthless and sarcastic writing style. Inspired by male writers who would tear down others in print, I wanted to be a hot young gunslinger, annihilating bands and artists. I embraced this approach and even reveled in being overly critical. However, over time, I realized that this destructive mentality was not who I truly was. I met my now-husband, who encouraged me to be more authentic and kinder in my writing. I learned that rather than tearing others down, I could focus on creating something better. This realization changed my perspective on writing and paved the way for a more positive and joyful approach.
