Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a writer?

Today I want to show you a comparison, which in my view, portrays what it is like to be a writer, perfectly.

Did you know that a cheetah only starts the race to satisfy hunger when they are in the last energy levels?

Imagine that a cheetah has a fuel gauge, as in cars, they only start running after the prey, when the pointer is in the reserve line.

And from here we can have two results, either they can catch the prey and satisfy hunger, or they cannot, and they are one step closer to starving.

Being a writer, and attention, I mean a writer who is in the stage of publishing with quality instead of quantity, is the same. By being strict with the articles he publishes, the writer puts himself in the place of the cheetah, if the article he publishes does not reach the desired levels, he is one step closer to hunger.

So it is good to be a little cautious, to have a sufficient amount of money saved, to live for a while without any money entering your bank account, and this way, you can focus 100% of your energy on writing.
