The Value of Outcomes Over the Process
Many individuals often romanticize the writing process, believing it should be enjoyable and effortless. However, the reality is that the process can be tedious, filled with repetitive tasks such as proofreading and giving the same advice repeatedly to aspiring writers. The true joy comes from the end results, such as holding a finished book or witnessing a writer realize their potential. Embracing the dull and challenging aspects of the process is crucial, as the output is what ultimately matters to both the creator and the audience.
