<p>Once I understood this, my career as a writer improved: Your friends are not automatically your audience. And that’s okay.</p><p>Sometimes the people who connect most deeply with your work will be strangers, not the people closest to you. That doesn’t mean your friends don’t support you; it just means they may not be your target readers.</p><p>My friends are my support system, not my audience.</p><p>So stop measuring your growth by who reposts your work and start paying attention to the people genuinely impacted by it.</p><p>Let friends be friends, and let your audience find you.</p><p>Rooting for you, writers 🤍</p>
