Jessica, we would put “Creating content is only part of the work” on the wall. So many people start writing or build their own business to get away from the 9 to 5, and end up with a 24/7 instead: the rewriting before you publish, the refreshing after, and the little voice at dinner asking whether this moment could be a post. Everyone talks about the benefits of posting and owning your own business. Very few talk about the sacrifices, and you laid them out honestly without making anyone feel bad for doing it.
