How Did 0.59 Dollars (Earned from My Article) Make Me Empowering as a Writer?

I am aiming to make $10 a month with my labor. Is it achievable?

I am not going to lie here. I am brimming with joy and tears.

Being a writer is tough as we experience the world differently and write characters, filling ourselves in their shoes.

And this labor is a child of ours that we give birth to every day, or should I say often?

As a child gives love but also trauma to a mother, a piece of writing gives the same (the mother’s incomparable, by the way, because they can bear the pain 1000s of times more than us, literally).

But, yes, being a writer, we might be 0.01%, if I am not wrong.

My child (a piece of writing work) is finally beginning to crawl, and I am proud of it.

“Stop exaggeration”. You might be thinking. “Come to the point. We don’t have that much time.”

I get it. I am not going to stretch it more. Here is what’s happening in my Medium profile:

Write a response

every artist, whether you are a writer, painter, singer, musician, dancer, and so on, wants their work to speak for itself and earn a name for itself

This is too real emotions
I felt the same when I first started out here and slowly I began to meet more friends.
So Don't give up
Keep writing and keep loving others ❤️
