This piece is fine but one of the sections, entitled 'Why people lie about it' includes this line:> If you’re selling a travel writing course, a mentoring program, a mastermind group, or a book about how to break into this competitive industry, the implicit promise is that you’ve cracked it. You’re selling the dream that full-time travel writing is achievable and sustainable and wonderful and – hey presto! – you are living proof.
...and after the article concludes very next thing is:
> While you’re here … I invite you to sign up for my free 5-day writing course called Unlock Your Creative Flow. One email, once a day, for five days, plus a follow-along workbook containing further space for reflection. You’ll also join the list to receive my (semi-regular) newsletter. Sign up now!
I guess I appreciate the honesty of this article, but the whiplash from this juxtaposition hurts. Clearly not intentional from the author, but I can't think of a more tone-deaf pitch in this context of this piece.
