84% of subscribers said they’d like me to write about writing from time to time. Because of the response—and because I want to and think I have something to add to the conversation—I will. About twice a month. Starting today.

Today’s post discusses a problem. The next one begins a series of posts focused on solutions. On good writing practices.

I will do my best to keep the content broad and engaging because I realize this doesn’t apply to everyone. That said, if you like to read, you might be interested in thoughts about how I write.

Plus, a great number of you are writing or planning to write as a side hustle or part of a current or future semi-retirement strategy.

The newsletter remains focused on our core personal finance content, as evidenced by the most recent posts.

With our mission established, the best way to start is to highlight the biggest mistake new writers make. It’s something that happens all of the time. And, because I haven’t seen it discussed anywhere ever, I have to assume people don’t even realize it’s happening. Or think it’s a problem.

But it’s bad. And a good way to stop a fruitful and fun writing career or side hustle before it starts. Or, at the very least, make it harder and less pleasant than it otherwise should and could be. This actually happens in areas other than writing.
