Fiction writing vs content writing

“How is writing fiction different than writing emails, sales copy, and content writing?”

I was asked that on a podcast not all that long ago.

And I liken it to legs day vs arms day in the gym.

Training arms is a lot different on your body than training legs if you’re doing legs training right. Working out your lower body stresses different muscles than training your upper body does. In fact, training your legs properly can significantly make your upper body a whale of a lot stronger.

So it is with fiction.

The more fiction I write, the more engaging, interesting, and responsive my other content and sales writing is.

Personally, like training legs, I find fiction a lot more exhausting & time consuming.

I also find it a lot more rewarding, too.

It uses & “stresses” different parts of my brain than writing emails, sales copy, and other content does — including the heavily story-based content.

So that’s the difference in my experience.

Do with this info whatever suits you.
