Chapter 1: The Dilemma of Writing on Unfamiliar Topics

There are certain subjects I hesitate to tackle, particularly when I lack the experience to do them justice. For instance, writing about winning a foot race feels presumptuous since I’m currently preparing for my very first one.

A skilled writer could easily pull this off, even titling the piece "How to Win a Foot Race." However, I often find myself too serious when I sit down to write, which inhibits my ability to adopt a lighter approach. Perhaps I need to ease up a bit.

Nonetheless, I’m attempting to focus on topics that align with my current experiences and those of potential readers. It seems that a significant part of writing—especially when aiming for success—involves reflecting on your own process in relation to your goals, more so than the subject matter itself.

At this moment, it feels far more sensible to select a straightforward topic and a safe visual style for my article. Yet, this approach feels less authentic to me. The current endeavor, at least, feels genuine.

Still, I can't shake the thought of how this might benefit others. Isn’t it a fundamental aspect of writing to offer value to your audience? For instance, sharing that consistent morning exercise can be an effective way to enhance one's mood seems beneficial, right? It certainly is for me.

But what is the essence of this article? Let me clarify: it revolves around the struggle of trying to fit into a perceived mold of successful writing. It’s essentially a candid reflection on my challenges.

For those who thrive on discipline and view a successful writing career as just another task to check off, I have no doubt they can achieve their goals on platforms like Medium. Their primary motivation likely lies in the pursuit of that success.

For me, the core passion is self-expression. My writing is an extension of my creative endeavors, and I find that when I overly concern myself with others' opinions, my creativity suffers. This path to success can be quite arduous.

I know I’m not alone in this battle; however, it can be tough to see that when I browse through Medium and encounter a plethora of listicles. By the way, I must confess: this piece isn't truly about foot races or using pencils as shoes.
