Writing is a Blue-Collar Job
A big reason writers seem to struggle is that they perceive writing as a different type of job than it really is. Many writers look at writing as a white-collar job. A white-collar job is the type of work that is professional, typically done in an office, and focuses on leadership and administration. You rarely get your hands dirty with manual labor.
A blue-collar job, on the other hand, is more hands-on and focuses on trades. Plumbing, construction, retail, and foodservice are good examples of blue-collar jobs.
Life gets a lot easier when you understand that professional writing is a blue-collar job.
On this episode, you’ll learn that writing is less about how creative or impassioned you feel, and more about your commitment to showing up and doing the work.
