Self-Help Writing Is A Content Mill
White-label advice every time.
I am all tapped out of advice. I am surprised many creatives can churn out many pieces on what, where, and how to live.
How to love. How to do just about anything.
Guilty as charged. In my defense your honor, I was following the trend like everybody else. Give the people what they want. I was just following the crowd to the mess hall for some chow.

What I can’t seem to wrap my head around is that there are so many people with opinions to share that I think it dwarfs the problems to be solved.
Every scroll of my screen, someone new has cultivated words of wisdom to share.
The funny thing is, it’s gaining momentum. Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. Hell, I briefly thought of running the gauntlet myself and pumping out even more stoic paragraphs to boost my read and view rate.
There is money to be made. Like I said, I have an electric bill to pay.
Well, I didn’t. I didn’t say anything about electricity. What I said was food, but I figure it’s not a big leap from food to electricity.
Cooking is somewhere in the process.
