That’s what I said
…but it’s not what I meant.
One of the many burdens of being a writer is that people will confuse what you say.
And one of the most valuable lessons you’ll learn is that it’s not their fault. To have the empathy to acknowledge that your readers can’t help but see it the way they do.
The reader is always right.
And so, you’re left with two choices:
Change how you write.
Find better readers.
The first option is largely a matter of finding out what resonates with your current audience. Conforming to their standards. Writing what works.
The second is a problem of distribution. Asking: Who do you want to read your writing? Where are they (online)? How can you put it in front of them—so that your content is seen and shared and spread, by the right people?
Expecting that your readership is wrong, or should change, is a foolhardy endeavor. Better instead to get clear about 'who it’s for' from the start, and to work overtime to deliver.
