The Advantage of Writers in the Digital Age

Nowadays, written communication will serve us both for thinking and moving forward with our careers. The time has come for all of us to share what we learn through writing. Attention is a precious commodity in today’s workforce, and writing captures it. Writers have a distinct advantage in that they can draw attention to their work without spending a single cent.

Sharing your thoughts and ideas with others online can expand your horizons and help you gain knowledge. Creating content gives others access to your expertise without wasting their time. Once you’re ready for people to see your work, the internet is the best tool because people worldwide can find your work. Create a website and a social media presence. Share your completed work and some glimpses of your creative process so that others can learn from you (and you can learn from them). As you interact with people online, remember you can only please some. If someone doesn’t like your work, ignore them and refocus on the process of making your art. If their words make you angry, all the better: anger is an excellent motivator for creative work.
