Writing at times is like navigating a jungle full of keyboard warriors. You guessed it! We’re talking about Trolls. You know the ones. They’re like the colorful parrots squawking in the trees singing trying to gain attention.
Here is some facts about trolls. First they come in different shapes, and with different tactics. Sometimes they try to seem like they’re being nice and helpful, but in reality they’re belittling and condescending. Their words sting often. Other times they don’t even try to hide who they are. They want you to get upset, and that’s their goal. To knock you off your game.
Here are four quick points I want to make about trolls.
- Trolls gotta troll, it’s their cardio workout! It’s all they got. Trolling is what they live for.
- They try often to disguise themselves as Critics? Sometimes you’ll discover they’re artists too—in the fine art of NOT creating anything.
- They live in a virtual treehouse, attended to only by other trolls, cranking up their own echo.
- You, the dashing adventurer, get paid in gold coins to simply walk past them, ears plugged.
Remember, “Can’t please everyone” isn’t just some dusty saying in grandma’s cross-stitch. It’s the secret recipe to being the Indiana Jones of your field!
So write for that small niche audience and ignore the rest.
