If what you’re working on doesn’t feel like playing a video game, you’re working on the wrong thing. - Dickie Bush

Every early writer struggles with impostor syndrome.

They ask “Why me?” unsure if anyone will care what they say.

Simple fix: flip the question around.

Ask “why not me?” or “why anyone else?”

This unlocks a whole new perspective.

I found the greatest hack to get rid of passive voice.

After every verb, insert "by zombies."

If the sentence still makes sense, you're using ​passive voice.

"The story was written (by zombies)" → passive voice.

"She wrote (by zombies) the story." → active voice.

The smartest thing you can do: realize you aren't that smart.

The best operators know what they know, but more importantly what they don't know.

Double down on what you know. Surround yourself with people who know everything else.
