I suppose we each have a definition of what “great” actually means.

Is a great writer one that makes a lotta dough? Or is being great meaning your social following earned you the little blue emblem? Or hey, maybe great means that you’ve released your first book and are on to the second?

Who knows.

The wonderful thing is that you get to define what a great writer is.

So lemme contrast and compare greatness to other creator types and share what I believe it means to be a great writer.

Great magicians make the impossible possible.

Great explorers take crazy risks and venture into the unknown to fulfill a mission.

Great teachers create an impact that may change a student’s life forever.

But the greatest of writers are truly extraordinary

We see what others cannot see — and we also see what others can see, but with fresh eyes.
