<p><strong>E47 - I Was Doing Everything Except Writing (And It Was Holding Me Back)</strong></p><p><strong>Episode Summary</strong></p><p>In this episode, I reflect on my early attempt at building an audience through YouTube before becoming a writer. While the platform seemed like the logical path, I soon realized that creating videos drained my energy rather than fueling it. Through that experience, I discovered an important truth: I had become so distracted by everything surrounding Writing that I had stopped prioritizing the act of writing itself.</p><p>I share how returning to online writing through Medium and Substack helped me reconnect with my original dream of becoming a writer and taught me the importance of keeping the main thing the main thing.</p><p>Key Points Discussed</p><ul><li>Why building a YouTube channel felt misaligned despite good intentions.</li><li>The difference between enjoying the message and enjoying the medium.</li><li>How fear, overwhelm, and endless learning delayed my writing journey.</li><li>The distinction between being a writer and being an author.</li><li>Why writing should come before marketing, publishing, audience growth, and productivity systems.</li><li>How prioritizing writing led to more ideas, greater creative energy, and a stronger connection to my work.</li><li>The importance of treating writing like a real job rather than an optional activity.</li></ul><p><strong>Takeaways</strong></p><ul><li>Your primary creative goal should guide your daily priorities.</li><li>Supporting tasks are valuable, but they should never replace the actual work.</li><li>Inspiration often appears after you begin, not before.</li><li>Protect your best energy for the work that matters most.</li><li>Identify what counts as writing for you and make it a non-negotiable priority.</li><li>No amount of planning, marketing, or preparation can replace putting words on the page.</li></ul><p><u><strong>The main thing is to keep Writing the main thing.</strong></u></p><p><br></p><p>---</p><p><a href="https://forms.gle/6hCHZK1jVYSktqSeA"><strong>Send in your suggestions and questions here.</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>🏡 My homes on the internet -</strong></p><p><a href="https://rubinagomes.substack.com/">Substack</a> </p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0IbZ9GT4ker56lVGY0gscU">Spotify</a> |<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/becoming-a-writer/id1734073142">Apple Podcast</a> |<a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/23581f92-a57e-4ba4-80b7-6a805472627b/becoming-a-writer">Amazon Music</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BecomingAWriter">YouTube</a> |<a href="https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8M6CvzfHIjw2lw-mLXpIfMRmZLCeEvcV&si=PS_Pqp4jqOPgCYF_">YouTube Music</a> |<a href="https://www.instagram.com/becoming.awriter/"></a><a href="https://rubinagomes.substack.com/s/becoming-a-writer">Substack (podcast)</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>A Rubina’s Bojra Production</strong></p><p>Directed, produced, written, and hosted by Rubina Gauri Gomes</p><p>Music by <a href="https://stock.adobe.com/in/search/audio?k=513025141">"Happy Lazy Loop" by Serge Quadrado</a> (At Adobe Stock)</p><p>Audio-visual edited and marketed by Rubina Gauri Gomes</p><p>Fueled by coffee ☕ and made with love for fellow writers and creatives 🤍</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About Podcast -</strong></p><p>Welcome to <strong>Becoming A Writer</strong>, where writing inspiration is served fresh in 20 minutes or less, every 4th Saturday.</p><p>One big lesson to learn as writers - it’s not just about publishing a book—it’s about becoming a writer who writes for life.
