Most writers think their problem is only about technique.
They obsess over headlines, hooks, and formatting. They study viral posts and try to reverse-engineer success. These absolutely help you be a great writer.
But they miss something that separates the best from the average and generally inconsistent:
Good writing isn’t just a craft skill. It’s a mental strength skill.
I found that if I wanted to make a deep impact for the long term, I’d need to grow psychologically.
Here’s what I learned emotionally mature writers do differently:
1. They don’t buy into their own stressful thoughts.
The most anxious writers I know take every thought as gospel truth.
And they wonder why they’re jittery wrecks half the time.
When they believe their thoughts, they find it much harder to deal with negative criticism or results.
Mentally strong writers know that their thoughts are suggestions, not facts.
