What do you do when the numbers are quiet? No audience, no reads, no listens, and your work still asks to be made anyway.

In this free flow episode, I talk honestly about the anxiety of watching metrics, the temptation to chase clicks, and why I keep writing even when it is not paying the bills. I share how creating is still an outlet, how older work can find people years later, and why I would rather build something lasting than chase a quick spike.

If you are creating in the dark, this is for you. Keep going. Focus on what you can control. Celebrate the small wins. And remember, the point is not to become a millionaire overnight, it is to make something real and keep your voice intact.

I also share a quick update on my upcoming book, A New Set of Eyes, a thoughtful guide to creating with AI without losing your voice.

New episodes aim to drop weekly.
