Here on this podcast, we talk a lot about topics that are focused on the writer. We spend a lot of time thinking about mindset, habits, and success. 

All those topics are important, and they exist to serve our broader goal, which is serving other people with our writing. 

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “If a tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear it?” The same could be said about our books. If nobody ever reads the book, does it matter that someone wrote it? 

Writing is a great tool for overcoming fear, building a business, making an income, and all sorts of other benefits. But all those things ultimately exist for the purpose of adding value to the world. 

The author Madeleine L’Engle wrote, “I am pretty sure that writing may be a way of life in itself. It can be that because it continually forces us away from self toward others.” 

Your writing is, first of all, about you because you are the one making it happen. But it must not end there.  

Ultimately, it’s all about other people.
