Also, just to be annoying, on your first point I believe the word you're looking for is "authenticity". I know that's literally a synonym for genuineness but it just sounds better :P

Yes, authenticity...I don't know why I couldn't think of that word.

Your posts are weirdly motivational. I say weirdly because they don't have the usual 'your creative genius is within you' message. The message I'm getting is: cut the crap and write.

Yep. Grant Cardone is the one who opened my eyes. Highly recommend you check out his two most famous books, the 10x rule and Be Obsessed Or Be Average. Best motivational/business books ever.
