why Aspiring Writers should Go for Quality not Quantity

If you know you’re still an amateur in writing, go for quality not quantity until you become expert.

Because, while expert writer can turn dirt to mushroom delicacy, an amateur writer can not.

It simply works like this:

You can’t buy bad writing to represent your business or yourself, can you? The same goes everywhere, no company can accept writing from amateur writer.

*

Freelance writers emphasise on quantity not quality because they assumed you know how to work on quality since you’re professional.

No wonder, they center only on how to make money through writing, telling you how they got their first client, from $5 to 6 figures. But they won’t tell you how they write better, because their sole purpose is to sale you their book or make you register their online courses—not all of them but the majority I visited.

To cross the ocean of amateurs to the world of expert writers, ignore quantity for quality and consider advice from people who want you to discover yourself—because no amount of writing advice can work for you than the one you discover by yourself.

And to discover yourself, write for yourself so as to strive for quality not quantity.

Nobody will tell you your words count doesn’t meet his requirement; some of your sentences are not complete; you’re too informal; blah blah blah.

And you can spend more than a year correcting yourself because there’s no deadline.
