When I feel stuck with my writing, I've found inspirational quotes rarely help – they subtly make me feel like struggling is rare.
I've started to compile a list of anti-inspirational quotes to remind myself I'm in good company when things suck.
Here are a few favorites:
“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”

Over the past two years, I've subscribed to 100+ newsletters.
I've now asked 30+ successful newsletter writers how they got their first 1,000 subscribers.
Their answers are all similar.
Here's how to go from 0 to 1K subscribers (thread):

1. You have to write good stuff for people to subscribe & stick around.
2. Most growth tactics are simple, not easy.
3. It's easier to succeed with a clear niche, but you can succeed without one.
4. Different wins – make your writing distinct!

They barely paid them. They made them order food off a separate, cheaper menu. They’d let in drunk hecklers to every show.
One of these underpaid, exhausted comics was Bill Grundfest.

I find it hard to believe 9 out of every 10 startups fail.
That stat is either a relic of a bygone era, or it includes every LLC somebody spins up on a whim and shuts down.
Here’s some non-exhaustive data on why failure rates are likely lower:
None of these are a smoking gun on their own. I think they mostly point to an overall ecosystem that's less risky than we're led to believe.

I want to cry every time I check the online communities I joined this time last year.
Most of them are now barren wastelands.
Some thoughts on why online communities fail... 🧶
First, picture the scene:
You joined a poppin' Slack or Discord a while back.
It was LIT when you joined, but now it's... not lit.

It may seem like robots are going to steal all the jobs, but Internet-native ways to earn a living are going to steal all the workers first
