We often make assumptions, wrong assumptions.

But this one is special.

When it comes to writing, the number one assumption writers make: My this post should go viral, hell yes! this post will go viral. On the other hand: man! this post sucks, it’s not looking good, it can’t go viral, should I publish this or not.

Tell me, am I going right?

These all are assumptions based on your thought process. Should I publish this or not, does this post will go viral or not. All these.

Do you make these same assumptions? If you’re a writer: hell, you.

Because sometimes I too make these assumptions.

Whenever I think this post could go viral, it doesn't, and whenever I think this post sucks, it won’t go viral, and unfortunately, that post does, that post goes viral.

And this is what, we have to stop assuming about. Because you never know which post is going to perform well, and which one not.

Your job is to hit publish and forget the rest.

Please don’t make assumptions, it’s not your job, it’s not your duty.

Your job is to play the volume game. Create content as much as you can, write as much as you can. This is how you become a better writer.

Ok, so this was a quick reminder as well warning for all writers who make assumptions about their post virality.

But virality never sustains. Stop making assumptions.

Let me know your thought in the comment section.
